Abstract: Embodiments of this application disclose a service resource preconfiguration method and device, and a system. The method includes establishing a first working path, sending a first path message from a first node to a second node, the first path message including an instruction to the second node to preconfigure a second channel resource; and preconfiguring the second channel resource based on the first path message. Fast automatic service recovery can be implemented, and fault recovery performance can be improved.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a system for sending a control request based on a key value configuration. The method includes generating, by a client controller, a control request, wherein having a plurality of configuration parameters, wherein the plurality of configuration parameters comprise a flexible key value, a control object name, and a universally unique identifier (UUID), where the flexible key value identifies a requested control object, and the flexible key value is determined using at least one of the control object name or the UUID, and sending, by the client controller, the control request to a server controller, where the control request indicates to the server controller to configure the control object.

Abstract: A path protection method includes receiving, by a source node of a first path, a path event notify message from a first node on the first path. The path event notify message includes indication information that the first path is predicted to fail. The path protection method further includes obtaining, by the source node, information about a predicted protection path. The information about the predicted protection path includes resource information of a second path useable to protect a service on the first path. The first path and the second path include the source node and a same sink node. The path protection method further includes storing, by the source node, the resource information of the second path.

Abstract: A route calculation method, device, and system. The route calculation method includes: receiving, by a first device, a service request message, where the service request message is used to request the first device to determine a transmission path of a borne service requested by the service request message to be established; and determining, by the first device, a transmission path of the service based on the service request message and first bearing capability information, where the first bearing capability information is used to indicate an actual bearing capability of each link on the transmission path. According to the foregoing solution, the system can calculate a route and configure the service based on an actual service bearing capability of each link of a network.

Abstract: This application provides example methods for establishing a service path in a transport network and example systems. One example method includes, obtaining, by an automatically switched optical network (ASON) first node, a service path computation result path. The service path includes the ASON first node, an ASON last node, and at least one first edge network node. The method also includes sending, by the ASON first node, a path establishment request message to a downstream node. The path establishment request message carries cross-connection configuration information of the ASON last node and the at least one first edge network node. The method further includes receiving, by the ASON first node, a path establishment response message of the downstream node. The path establishment response message indicates that cross-connection configuration for the ASON last node and the at least one first edge network node is complete.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a protection switching method and a node. The method can include: receiving, by an intermediate node, a first protection switching request message sent by an upstream neighboring node, where the first protection switching request message is used to request to activate a first protection path, and the intermediate node is a node on the first protection path; determining, by the intermediate node, that the first protection path needs to occupy N1 timeslots, and selecting N1 timeslots for the first protection path from N2 available timeslots in a preset order; and sending, by the intermediate node, a second protection switching request message to the downstream neighboring node, where the second protection switching request message is used to request the downstream neighboring node to complete a cross-connection, on the first protection path, between the downstream neighboring node and the intermediate node based on the first group of timeslots.
