Abstract: Constructed is a network management system which manages, in an integrated manner, a first communication system, a second communication system and a third communication system passed through by packets that are sent and received via wireless communication between a first device and a second device. The network management system performs information setting to these communication systems for dividing a communication system group, which includes these communication systems, into a plurality of logical partitions each corresponding to a plurality of different service levels based on the management information of each of these communication systems. A logical partition corresponding to a service level with regard to each of the plurality of different service levels is a partition passed through by packets that are sent and received via wireless communication between the first device and the second device belonging to that service level.

Abstract: From among a U-plane and a C-plane, the U-plane is installed in a first user site which has a base station, and the C-plane is installed in a C-plane site (any site that is not a user site). A system sets a U-plane inter-site path which is an inter-site communication path that connects a first user site with a second user site via a wide area network, and a C-plane inter-site path which is an inter-site communication path that connects a C-plane site with the first user site via the wide area network. In addition, the system sets an in-site communication path which is a communication path within the first user site and which connects to an inter-site communication path. A U-plane inter-site path is an inter-site communication path via which data is transmitted or received by a U-plane. A C-plane inter-site path is an inter-site communication path via which a signal is transmitted or received by a C-plane.

Abstract: A GW (PDG) at the termination of remote access is installed in the 3GPP system. After an IPSec tunnel between a terminal and the GW is opened, an IPSec tunnel between a VPN client and the corporate network GW is opened, whereby the data from the terminal is transferred via two tunnels between the terminal and the GW and between the VPN client and the corporate network GW to the corporate network. Also, the GW checks if the destination network uses the global address from the destination IP address of a message received from the terminal making the remote VPN access. If the global address is required, the source IP address of the message received from the terminal is translated from the private address for use within the corporate network to which the terminal is allocated to the global address to transfer the message.

Abstract: When any communication port receives a packet from a network, it transmits the packet to a relay processing section. The relay processing section identifies a relay processing section of a transfer destination according to destination information included in the packet to transmit the packet to a packet switch section. When the relay processing section of the transfer destination is a working relay processing section, the packet switch section transfers the packet to the working relay processing section and a protection relay processing section.

Abstract: To realize both conventional TDM-based communication typically provided by SONET and packet-based communication typically provided by Ethernet on a same optical transmission path, an integrated packet and TDM switching node apparatus is offered. This node apparatus receives wavelength-division-multiplexed optical signals of a plurality of channels incoming through a first optical transmission path and transmits wavelength-division-multiplexed optical signals of a plurality of channels over a second optical transmission path. The node apparatus comprises packet Framers, TDM Framers, and means for allocating optical signals of different wavelengths to the TDM Framers and packet Framers and wavelength division multiplexes TDM frame transmission channels and packet frame transmission channels on a same optical transmission path.
