    摘要： The invention describes methods and systems for monitoring the performance of an optical network by marking a group of optical signals with a set of identification tags which are unique to network characteristics. In the preferred embodiments, fiber identification (FID) and bundle identification (BID) tags are encoded into optical signals by marking an optical signal with low frequency dither tones whose frequencies are unique to the fiber section and to a bundle of fibers respectively. Detecting of the FID and BID tones provides more effective and accurate monitoring of performance of the optical network and allows determining of the network topology, e.g. paths of optical channels and traffic load through different fiber sections in the network. Other sets of hierarchically arranged identifiers encoded into optical signals have also been proposed, including band, conduit, city, region, country, etc. identifiers, as well as identifiers related to network security and service characteristics.

    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： A method and system for compensating for side effects of cross gain modulation in amplified optical networks, which allows reliable identification of expected and unexpected channels in the network is provided. Each optical channel traveling in the optical network is marked with a unique channel signature (expected channel signature), having one or more dither tone modulated onto the optical channel; followed by detecting a spectrum of tones, including said modulated dither tones and ghost tones thereof produced by the cross gain modulation in the optical network, at various locations in the optical network. Amplitudes of the spectrum tones, which belong to the expected channel signature, are compared with a first threshold, while amplitudes of the remaining spectrum tones, which are not the valid tones, are compared with a second threshold, which is lower than the first threshold. The spectrum tones are identified as valid tones if their amplitudes are above the first threshold; and an alarm signaling that the expected channel signature is missing is generated if the amplitude of the spectrum tone is below the first threshold. Yet another alarm is generated signaling that an unexpected channel is detected in the network if the amplitude of at least one of the remaining spectrum tones is exceeding the second threshold. Alternatively, the other alarm is generated if amplitudes of the remaining spectrum tones belonging to one of the allowable channel signatures in the network are above the second threshold. A corresponding system incorporating the step of the methods described above is also provided.

    摘要： In an optical WDM network, each optical channel is modulated with a respective channel identity. Detectors, conveniently at multiplex ports of optical band filters, detect the channel identities of all of the optical channels in an optical signal at the respective points to produce respective channel lists. A network management system determines channel lists for through ports of the optical band filters, identifies matching pairs of channel lists to determine a topology of each node and to identify optical paths entering or leaving each node, and identifies matching pairs of channel lists for these paths to determine an inter-node topology of the network. The channel identity detector points can alternatively be at the optical paths entering or leaving each node.
