Abstract: Disclosed is a hardware-based protection group switching method and optical communication equipment.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a protection group superposition switching method, a control apparatus, and an optical communication device. Multiple protection state machines are implemented by using a field programmable gate array (FPGA). Each protection state machine independently performs an automatic protection switching (APS) protocol operation for at least one protection group that is pre-associated with the protection state machine. At least one protection status table for recording a status of each protection group is updated according to a result of the APS protocol operation, and a cross-connection table for traffic cross-connection between communication units is updated according to the protection status table; the updated cross-connection table is configured into a cross-connection chip, so that the cross-connection chip performs traffic cross-connection according to the updated cross-connection table.

Abstract: A method and a device for each network element node in a transoceanic multiplex section shared protection ring to automatically discover a cross-node service topology. According to the present invention, the method for automatically discovering a cross-node service topology comprises the following steps: at the node, generating a message containing service identification information of the node, the service identification information being used for identifying a service flow configured for a protection group; sending the message containing the service identification information through the transoceanic multiplex section shared protection ring; and at at least one of other nodes, determining a cross-node service crossing topology according to the message containing the service identification information.
