Abstract: A communication apparatus includes a temperature sensor, a memory, and a processor. The temperature sensor measures temperature. The memory stores association groups of packet transmission rates associated with at least one of individual ports and individual transmission flows. The processor selects, based on the measured temperature, one of the association groups for suppressing heat generation, and controls reception rates using the packet transmission rates of the selected association group.

Abstract: An optical transmission apparatus has a path trace function of carrying out a conductive state check of a path in a synchronous optical transmission network. The optical transmission apparatus includes a first judgment unit judging a path trace format of an existing standard in accordance with detection of a first specific code contained in path trace data, and a second judgment unit judging a path trace format of a new standard in accordance with detection of a second specific code contained in path trace data. The apparatus further includes a third judgment unit specifying one of the path trace formats of the new standard in accordance with a content of a third specific code contained together with the second specific code in the path trace data.

Abstract: An optical transmission apparatus in which the reliability and quality of optical performance monitoring are improved. A light output unit selects and outputs light of one of a plurality of wavelengths. A digital information conversion unit converts a performance parameter for the light to digital information. A conversion map management unit manages a conversion map including a conversion format for converting the digital information indicative of values which vary according to the wavelengths of light with the same output power so that reference values at normal operation time for all the wavelengths will be the same and used for converting the digital information to a monitored value. A display control unit exercises control over the displaying of the monitored value corresponding to the digital information.
