  • Patent number: 8291113
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 7657180
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a communication path calculation method and module. More particularly, the present invention provides a communication path calculation method and module that are implemented or incorporated in a transmission apparatus including a ROADM or the like which performs WDM communication, advertises information on a wavelength which can be added or dropped, as information on a link, and uses the information to autonomously calculate a communication path. Optical transmission equipment that is accommodated in a WDM network over which a wavelength-division multiplexed signal is transferred includes a reconfigurable OADM module. For calculation of a communication path, the OADM module creates a link table listing clients of the own equipment and connected WDMs, and advertises the link table to the other pieces of equipment accommodated by the network as pieces of information on restrictions to be imposed on routing from the own equipment.

  • Patent number: 7633857
    Abstract: A node in a first ring stores therein connection information about connecting nodes between a second ring and a third ring. Upon receiving a route of a working path by a signaling, the node determines any one of nodes composing the second ring as a branch node. If the working path is not terminated on an end node that the working path ends in the second ring thereon, and also if no node composing the second ring stores therein connection information between the end node and any one of the connecting nodes in the third ring that is connected to the second ring, the node compares each condition of selectable routes of a backup path between the end node and the branch node, and selects any one of the selectable routes as the backup path based on a result of comparison.
