    摘要: A method of detecting polarization mode dispersion (PMD) indicative parameters of an optical fiber link comprising at least one transmission channel in which is transmitted a first wideband optical signal with a bandwidth divided into sub-bands. For each sub-band is produced a second reference optical signal with which to find a third optical signal by superposition. For each of the third signals are calculated first parameters considered indicative of the PMD thereof, and with the first parameters of all the sub-bands are calculated second parameters considered indicative of the PMD of the first wideband signal. The method can be used as part of a PMD compensation method for a transmission system employing the parameters calculated for feedback piloting of a PMD compensator. A detection apparatus comprises a generator for generation of the second reference optical signals, an optical mixer for producing superimposition of the first and second signals, one or more photodetectors for finding the electrical beat signal or the first and second signals, a calculation device for calculating the first parameters, and a processor for processing all the first parameters to find therefrom the second parameters which will then be furthered processed. The detection apparatus can be part of a compensation apparatus comprising the compensator and a calculation stage for calculating the compensation and piloting the compensator. The entirety can be part of an optical fiber communication system.

    摘要: A connection-oriented network (5) has a plurality of connections terminated at a first node (N6). A recovery group (A) is configured at the first node (N6) comprising at least two of the plurality of connections (LSP1-6, LSP2-6, LSP3-6, LSP4-6). Fault detection is performed over each of the connections in the recovery group (A) and the node determines if at least one recovery group fault condition is met, based on the results of the fault detections performed over the connections in the recovery-group (A). When the at least one recovery group fault condition is met, the node causes traffic on the plurality of connections in the recovery group (A) to be transferred to backup paths. When the at least one recovery group fault condition is not met, and a fault has been detected on a connection in the recovery group (A), the node causes traffic to be transferred from that connection to a backup path.

    摘要: A protection scheme for a metro optical network involves programming ingress nodes and egress nodes with a primary multicast label switched path (LSP) and a back-up LSP to provide one-to-one protection. The primary and back-up LSPs are configured prior to the occurrence of a network fault to allow the network to transmit multicast communication when the fault occurs. Particularly, multicast communications are sent on the primary LSP during normal operation. However, when a network fault occurs, the nodes also send a duplicate multicast communication over the back-up LSP. Configuring the primary and back-up LSPs prior to the fault occurring avoids the need for signalling to establish a working LSP after a fault occurs.

    摘要: Network interconnection apparatus comprising a platform with interface ports for network interconnection and comprising in turn a first series and a second series of interface port cards and an interconnection unit for commanded interconnection at least between the cards of the first and second series and between cards of the first series. The cards of the first series have their own associated MAC address tables for addressing traffic between ports through the interconnection unit. Each entry of the table has an age field defining in time the age of the entry. The content of the age field is periodically verified and if it reaches a preset maximum figure the entry is updated on the basis of the content of the age field by a corresponding entry in the table of another card of the first series and associated therewith by the information in the entry to be updated. If the content of the age field of the corresponding entry is also a maximum figure, both the entries can be deleted.
