  • Method and system for modeling and advertising asymmetric topology of a node in a transport network
    Patent number: 7173912
    Abstract: A method and system for providing an internal topology of a node within a network includes determining asymmetric connections between traffic bearing components in a network node. An intranode connectivity is determined between the traffic bearing components based on the asymmetric connections. A model of the node indicative of the intranode connectivity is distributed to a disparate node in a network with a node. The model is used at a disparate node in determining a routing path through the network.

  • System and method for connectionless/connection oriented signal transport
    Patent number: 7151773
    Abstract: A method of communicating connectionless and connection oriented signals using at least one common network element includes receiving connectionless and connection oriented signals from a plurality of source peripheral network elements and determining a signaling type associated with each signal, the signaling type comprising connectionless signaling or connection oriented signaling. The method further includes appending a transport label to each signal, each transport label comprising an indication of the signal's signaling type, and communicating the signals and appended transport labels toward destination peripheral network elements according to signaling procedures associated with each signal's signaling type.

  • Transport network and method
    Patent number: 7133403
    Abstract: A transport network includes a flexible topology for internally defining transport elements. The transport elements each include a port group having a plurality of geographically distributed ports from the transport network. Point-to-multipoint connectivity is defined between the ports in a port group. An identifier represents the port group as a single element to internal and/or external elements for protocol exchanges.
