Abstract:
A method for providing a protection switching service in a virtual tenant network (VTN) and a controller are provided. The method enables a real-time protection switching setup on a VTN path in order to provide reliability of a VTN service.
Abstract:
Provided is a method and apparatus for managing resources of a transport network, the method including monitoring a fault occurring in a transfer path, and registering, when the fault occurs in the transfer path, a normal link of a second layer assigned to an operation path of a first layer in which the fault occurs.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for link discovery among domains, the method including receiving a link discovery packet from a second switch in a second domain, generating a response packet with respect to the link discovery packet, and transmitting the response packet to the second switch, wherein the link discovery packet is generated by a transmission controller to control the first domain in order to detect a link between the second switch and the first switch in a first domain.
Abstract:
Provided is a method and apparatus for activating a link between a first node and a second node for transmission of a lower order optical channel data unit (ODU), in which the link may be activated based on a first adaptation function between a higher order ODU and the lower order ODU performed by the second node and a second adaption function between the higher order ODU and the lower order ODU performed by the first node, and may also be activated when the first node receives an activation message from a third node, a preceding node of the first node.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for processing an address resolution protocol (ARP) packet that searches, with respect to an ARP packet received from an end system, for a media access control (MAC) address of another end system indicated by the received ARP packet, transmits a proxy response packet to the end system that transmits an ARP packet using the found MAC address, and thus reduces an overload of a Layer 3 (L3) network through the proxy response packet being transmitted to the end system that transmits the ARP packet is provided.
Abstract:
Provided is an operating method of a database server in a Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) system including a network administrator, the database server, a switch and at least one end system. The database server may maintain a table including information about a network profile and information about a service profile, receive, from the switch, a request for information on a virtual station interface (VSI) type corresponding to a request message for setting up and canceling a VXLAN service that the switch receives from the at least one end system, retrieve a network property corresponding to the VSI type from the table in response to the request, and provide the retrieved network property to the switch.
Abstract:
In a wireless optical communication system in which communication is performed based on a free space and a plurality of the communication apparatuses are arranged in a ring form around a central office terminal (COT), the communication apparatus monitors optical signals received in a first direction or in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and selects a first path through which the optical signals in the first direction are received and a second path through which the optical signals in the second direction are received. The communication apparatus converts an optical signal having a predetermined unique wavelength from among the optical signals received through the selected path into a signal of a frequency domain having a plurality of subcarriers, and obtains packet data mapped to each of the subcarriers.
