摘要:
A transmission apparatus includes a processor configured to recognize a number of working failures and a number of protection failures on a network for transmission of wavelength-multiplexed signal light, the number of working failures being the number of failures in signal light in wavelengths at a working entity and the number of protection failures being the number of failures in signal light in wavelengths at a protection entity, configured to perform path switching for each group of signal light in wavelengths that are different from each other and configured to select, when multiple failures occur, restoration processing, on a basis of the number of working failures and the number of protection failures.

A signal transmission method includes causing each of a plurality of nodes to transfer, using the actually used line, a second signal in a second layer, in which one or a plurality of first signals in a first layer are contained, to a node adjacent in the first or the second direction when each of the plurality of nodes transmits or receives the first signal, when no failure occurs in a transmission path in a network, and causing a first node, located at an end of a failure point, to switch a transmission direction of the second signal and to send out the second signal to the backup line, and causing a second node, which is a transmission source or a reception destination of the first signal, to select one of the first and second directions, when a failure occurs in the transmission path in the network.

An apparatus switches paths in a wavelength-multiplexing network in which a first number of wavelengths each used for a path to transmit an optical signal are multiplexed into an optical fiber. The apparatus includes an entire switching unit and a second number of individual switching units where the second number is smaller than the first number. The entire switching unit is configured to perform a path-switching process for switching a path, simultaneously on all the first number of wavelengths when failures have occurred for all the first number of wavelengths. The second number of individual switching units are each configured to perform the path-switching process individually on one of a third number of wavelengths included in the first number of wavelengths when at least one failure has occurred for the third number of wavelengths where the third numbers is smaller than the first number.

A node apparatus in a ring network in which a protection path is provided that cycles around the ring network and transports a signal in a direction opposite to a signal transporting direction of the working path and in the event of a failure of the working path, a node apparatus adjacent to the failure loops back the signal flowing on the working path onto the protection path, the node apparatus comprising: allowable bandwidth storing unit which stores a maximum total bandwidth value, which represents the largest value among per-link total values of bandwidths that a plurality of working paths use on respective links connecting between the node apparatuses, as an allowable bandwidth for a shared path; and bandwidth control unit which controls the bandwidth of traffic flowing on the protection path, in accordance with the allowable bandwidth.
摘要:
When opposed communication transmitting apparatuses A and C are connected in a physical configuration thorough a communication transmitting apparatus B, if an interface configuration changing command is input to the communication transmitting apparatus B, the interface configuration is changed in the communication transmitting apparatus B and virtual connection is achieved such that the opposed communication transmitting apparatuses A and C pass through the communication transmitting apparatus B to directly connect an interface A1 and an interface C1. In this situation, since the GMPLS operation target apparatuses are only the communication transmitting apparatus A and the communication transmitting apparatus C and the communication transmitting apparatus B is a non-target apparatus of the GMPLS operation, the GMPLS scalability problem is solved and optical signals may be transferred at higher speed.

A communication apparatus stores therein link information indicating a network connection status of an entire hierarchical network, collects link information indicating a network connection status in its own area in predetermined cycles, and transmits the collected link information to another area assigned a level different from a level assigned to its own area. When receiving link information from another area assigned a different level, the communication apparatus determines whether the received link information is new link information newer than link information stored in a predetermined storage unit; when it is determined that the received link information is new link-information, the communication apparatus stores the new link information into the predetermined storage unit and advertises it in its own area; by contrast, when it is determined that the received link information is not new link-information, the communication apparatus discards the received link information without storing and advertising.

A signaling apparatus is applied to a node constituting a network including internal network to network interface (INNI) domains having INNI interfaces between a plurality of networks in an area and external network to network interface (ENNI) domains having ENNI interfaces that connect the INNI domains. The apparatus includes a processing unit that processes a signaling message for setting a path when an end-to-end path that passes through the INNI domains and the ENNI domains that connect the INNI domains is set in response to the signaling message, a storing unit that holds information on types of links between an own node and adjacent nodes, and a judging unit that judges whether the own node is a connection end point of the INNI domains or the ENNI domains with reference to route information in the message and the information on the types of the links held in the storing unit.

A signaling system able to improve the efficiency of utilization of network resources and autonomously set a correct spare route, that is, a signaling system setting a path passing through two rings interconnected by a plurality of nodes by signaling wherein each node is provided with an inter-node connection information table including topology information in the network and a branch node judgment unit for judging whether a home node is a branch node based on the content of the inter-node connection information table and wherein when the home node receives a signaling message for setting a working path and it is judged that the node is a branch node, the signaling of the spare path is started for the destination node of the spare path based on the information in the inter-node connection information table so as to autonomous set the spare path.
摘要:
A path switching system and method for a multiple-node ATM network, in which a plurality of paths can be simultaneously switched preserving proper correspondence thereof. A key choosing unit provided in a node chooses first and second sorting keys out of the virtual paths between the nodes, based on a first and second path information stored in a path information memory unit. Two nodes located at both ends of the route failed due to trouble in the ATM network select a first pair of isolated virtual paths having the first sorting key, which were formerly connected to the failed route, and connect them to a first bypass route. The two nodes then connect in a similar way a second pair of isolated virtual paths both having the second sorting key to a second bypass route.
