    摘要: A real-time network-analysis system comprises a network appliance and a plurality of management devices. The network appliance continuously monitors an object network and synthesizes a current network image comprising contemporaneous indicators of connectivity, occupancy, and performance of the object network. A management-client device may gain access to the network image for timely control and for use in producing long-term network-evolution plans. To enable the creation of a real-time network image, optimized topology synthesis algorithms are devised to minimize the computational effort. The real-time network-analysis system is adapted for use with an object network employing a variety of routing protocols, such as link-state protocols, and network-management protocols, such as the Simple-Network-Management protocol.

    摘要: An alert system for a communications network has a plurality of client devices and a plurality of alert servers each adapted to provide alerts to a respective subset of the client devices to provide scalability. Users at the client devices subscribe to receive alerts by selecting a scope of distribution of alerts. The selection involves selecting a type of alert to receive, a level of severity of alerts to receive, and a geographic scope. In response to receiving a request to issue an alert, an alert server notifies the other alert servers of the alert. Each alert server determines which client devices of the respective subset of client devices are to receive the alert. Each alert server then sends an alert message to its client devices that are to receive the alert.

    摘要: A method for monitoring lightpaths in an optical network comprising nodes interconnected by wavelength-multiplexed links is disclosed. Each lightpath is identified by a respective optical signature. A node stores identifiers of optical signatures of lightpaths designated to traverse the node and identifiers of adjacent nodes. Each node also maintains a record of all optical signatures it detects. A command-line interface associated with a selected node tracks a selected lightpath, designated to traverse the selected node, by propagating messages in an upstream direction, a downstream direction, or both, requesting other nodes to provide information pertinent to the selected lightpath. The selected node may also send messages to all its neighboring nodes requesting each to indicated detection, or otherwise, of the selected lightpath. Thus, the method relies on localized information, maintained at each node, and cooperative exchange of data among nodes without interacting with a centralized network management facility.

    摘要: In a router in a network comprising a source node, and a receiver node, and other nodes, a congestion monitor determines a degree of congestion, which is sent back to the source node, using an OSI network layer protocol. This enables the flow of packets from the source to be controlled more accurately to maintain high throughput with reduced probability of congestion. Using the network layer rather than lower layers can ensure the indication can be carried across the entire network, and not be lost at boundaries between data links making up the network.
