摘要:
In a broadband access network, calls can be kept active even when a telephone network fails. A voice gateway function captures callee telephone number information sent from a caller subscriber telephone to the telephone network and, when the telephone network fails, keeps the call active by retaining the connection between the caller and the callee. Furthermore, when the telephone network fails, the operation mode of the voice gateway and all ONTs is switched from an H.248 gateway mode to an SIP softswitch mode, allowing the voice gateway function to relay communication packets between ONTs and new call connections to be made in the broadband access network.

In a packet transmission router used in a VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) network having a VR (Virtual Router) function, when virtual routers VR are realized by the VRRP, the routing control information that each VR manages is prevented from being mixed with that of other VR. When an active packet transmission router transmits a VRRP packet to a standby packet transmission router, an identifier indicating which virtual router belongs to the VRRP packet is added to the VRRP packet before the transmission of the VRRP packet.

An object of the present invention is to solve a problem that when multicast is utilized in a network configured with virtual routers, traffic in the relay network is increased. According to the present invention, the number of multicast packets via the relay network is reduced by performing a multicast packet transfer across the virtual routers within the same router. Specifically, it is allowed to register in a multicast routing table held by each virtual router, a line interface identifier of another virtual router as outgoing line interface information, whereby multicast packet transfer from a virtual router to another virtual router is made possible. In order to specify a virtual router to share the multicast packet, each virtual router holds information to specify a virtual router having a line interface to receive the multicast traffic indicated by the multicast group address.

An ATM switching system provided with a plurality of call processing devices, a plurality of line interfaces for inputting and outputting an ATM cell, an ATM switch connected to the plurality of line interfaces for switching the ATM cell, and a switch control portion connected to the ATM switch, the plurality of line interfaces and a plurality of call processing devices. Requirement information related to call processing input from line interfaces is collected once in the switch control portion. The switch control portion determines to which of the plurality of call processing devices the requirement information is to be distributed based on the information related to the input-output line, a state of processing capability of the call processing device, etc. The related line interface is set directly from switch control portion through a bus based on the control information from determined one or a plurality of call processing devices.

Provided is a passive optical network system for operating a mixture of PONs with differing transmission speeds and is capable of reducing power consumption on the basis of the amount of signals being transmitted. The master station of the passive optical network system, which determines the amount and timing of signals sent thereto by each of a plurality of slave stations on the basis of the requests of the plurality of slave stations and receives signals from the plurality of slave stations via an optical fiber network, is equipped with a control unit that determines in each set cycle the amount, transmission timing, and transmission speed of the signals that each slave station is permitted to transmit to said master station on the basis of the amount of signals that each of the plurality of slave stations has requested to transmit, and that notifies such to each slave station. Additionally, each of the plurality of slave stations is equipped with a control unit that transmits signals to the master station at a first transmission speed or a second transmission speed that is faster than the first transmission speed, and is configured to transmit signals with either the first transmission speed or the second transmission speed on the basis of notifications from the master station.

A network system having a plurality of interconnected networks each having a policy server. The policy server sets a quality-guaranteed path in the network according to a policy held in the policy server. The policy server includes: a policy holding unit to hold a policy defining a quality that can be guaranteed in its own network, or local network, for an inter-network communication; a policy publicizing unit to make public the policy held in the policy holding unit to the policy servers of other networks; a guaranteed quality calculation unit to calculate, from a policy publicized by a policy server of a network on a path between the local network and other network, a quality that can be guaranteed for the path between the local network and the other network; and a quality-guaranteed path setting unit to provide a quality-guaranteed path, the quality-guaranteed path having a guaranteed quality within the quality calculated by the guaranteed quality calculation unit for the path between the local network and the other network.
