Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a method. A receiving device determines that a first PHY needs to be added to a first FlexE group in a working state; performs deskew on the first PHY or each PHY in the first FlexE group based on a received data stream corresponding to the first PHY and a received data stream corresponding to each PHY in the first FlexE group, and restores a data stream corresponding to a client from a PHY in the first FlexE group; and if skew between the data stream corresponding to the first PHY and the data stream corresponding to each PHY in the first FlexE group after the deskew is performed is zero, restores a data stream corresponding to a client from a PHY in a second FlexE group. Flexibility of adjusting a PHY in a FlexE group in a working state is improved.

Abstract: This application discloses a service signal transmission method and apparatus, and belongs to the field of communications technologies. The method includes: obtaining, by a first network device, N first service signals, where coding types of the N first service signals are the same, and at least two of the N first service signals have different transmission rates, where N?2; inserting padding signals into the N first service signals, to obtain N second service signals, where transmission rates of the N second service signals are integer multiples of a reference rate; and multiplexing the N second service signals into one third service signal, and sending the third service signal to a second network device. In this application, the padding signals are inserted into the N first service signals, to obtain the N second service signals whose transmission rates have an obvious integer-ratio characteristic.

Abstract: A hierarchical route inquiry method in Automatic Switched Optical Network is applied to the networks having multi-layer route domains. According to the method, after the route controller RC in one child domain receives the Route Request, if it can not calculate the complete route, it sends the Route Request to the RC in the parent domain; if the RC in the parent domain can not obtain the complete route, it further interacts with other child domains to obtain the complete route and returns the Route Response back to the requester. The present invention solves the problem of creating a cross-domain connection in route inquiry in the Automatic Switched Optical Network.

Abstract: A joint route query method in ASON. After the route controller in each route domain has received a route query request, it calls a routing algorithm based on the request and the route calculation is performed based on the route database of the current node; if the route calculation succeeds, a route query result is returned to the requester, if no complete route can be obtained, said route query request will be forwarded to the RC in the parent domain. Based on the request, the RC in the parent domain interacts with RCs in other domain of the same layer, and the RCs in the sub-domains contained in the parent domain to complete the route query, and calculates to obtain a complete route, then a route query result will be returned to the RC that initiates the request and this RC will return the route query result to the requester.

Abstract: A route inquiry method in ASON for implementing the route inquiry by the network element NE1 which has a protocol controller (PC) and a connection controller (CC) but without a route controller (RC) or routing database (RDB) having no enough information includes: NE1 sends a protocol message of Route Request to the remote NE2, then the NE2 obtains the route result according to the Route Request, and returns the result to NE1 which launches the Route Request by protocol message of Route Response; the PC of NE1 sends the route result to the CC of local network element after receiving the Route Response protocol message.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a control method for cross-domain call and connection of ASON.
