Abstract:
A multi-layer link management device, a multi-layer integrated network transport system, and a multi-layer link management method are provided. The multi-layer link management device according to an embodiment of the present invention establishes a traffic engineering link stack integrated into one control plane in a multi-layer network, performs real-time monitoring and integrative management on link failure and performance for each layer, and notifies a neighbor node of failure and performance degradation states of a multi-layer link and integratedly manages the failure and performance degradation states. Thus, it is possible to enhance reliability of a multi-layer network and monitor failure and performance degradation in real time, thereby allowing quick performance diagnosis and management of a system and shortening a path protection switching time.
Abstract:
A method of analyzing an optical link fault includes: determining whether a peak is present on an optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) trace; in response to a determination that there is the peak on the OTDR trace, determining a fault as a reflective fault; in response to a determination that there is no peak on the OTDR trace, determining that the fault is a non-reflective fault; and reporting the optical link fault analysis result.
Abstract:
A method of improving the performance of an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) is provided. The method according to an embodiment of the present invention can increase accuracy of a distance of the OTDR through an initial calibration method with respect to the refractive index of an optical fiber, and can accurately detect a fault position and accurately analyze a fault cause through a real-time calibration method with respect to the refractive index of the optical fiber when faults and performance degradation occur.
Abstract:
There are provided a device for monitoring an optical link fault and a method thereof. According to an embodiment of the invention, the device for monitoring an optical link fault and the method thereof apply an optical link fault monitoring signal to an optical link and precisely identify a type of the fault using waveforms of a reflected signal returned from the optical link or a wavelength dependence of reflected signal intensity.
