Patent number: 7529964Abstract: A recovery of a secondary DB is executed by a log including a update difference of a primary DB, and a command is executed by adding the command to the log and analyzing the log by a secondary site. An operation command execution in the secondary site is applied to the DB having the consistency in the transaction at the same timing as a primary site or an intended timing, by transferring and executing the operation command via the log. In the case that the command is constituted by a snap shot generating instruction, a plurality of volumes of a mirror set forming a secondary storage apparatus are set to a pair state and the secondary DB is written in each of the volumes and synchronized, and the mirror set is set to a split state after the synchronization is finished, whereby a secondary DB is stored.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2004Date of Patent: May 5, 2009Assignee: Hitachi Communication Technologies, Ltd.Inventors: Yoshio Suzuki, Nobuo Kawamura, Kota Yamaguchi, Satoru Watanabe, Shinji Fujiwara

Patent number: 7529254Abstract: Disclosed here is a communication apparatus and method for inter-AS routing, which enables policy routing between a stub AS and an upstream AS. The policy routing includes control which is applicable only between adjacent autonomous systems (AS's). When a subject communication apparatus notifies its own AS number or advertises attribute information that includes its own AS number to a stub AS, the communication apparatus does not use its own AS number or uses the AS number of the upstream autonomous system (AS) instead of its own AS number. In addition, when relaying routing information received from one AS to another, the subject communication apparatus also relays attribute information without discarding the information, although the information is conventionally not relayed to itself.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2004Date of Patent: May 5, 2009Assignee: Hitachi Communication Technologies, Ltd.Inventors: Munetoshi Tsuge, Akihito Tsuzuki

Publication number: 20090110400Abstract: In a WDM type PON system, each ONU comprises an optical transmitter capable to transmit optical signals with variable wavelengths, an optical signal receiving filter variable its receiving wavelength, and a control unit. An OLT selects in response to a wavelength allocation request from each ONU, a transmitting wavelength and a receiving wavelength out of currently free wavelengths and allocates these wavelengths to the requester ONT. The control unit of the ONU switches the transmitting wavelength of the optical transmitter and the receiving wavelength of the optical signal receiving filter to the wavelengths specified in a response message from the OLT and starts data communication.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2008Publication date: April 30, 2009Applicant: HITACHI COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES, LTD.Inventors: Daiki NOZUE, Hiroaki Miyata, Noriyuki Sueyoshi
