  • Patent number: 9893832
    Abstract: An Add Drop Multiplexer (ADM) includes a separating unit that extracts, from an ODU4 storing therein a plurality of HO-ODUs each of which stores therein at least one LO-ODU, first MSI values which correspond to the HO-ODUs and each of which identifies a different one of the LO-ODUs for each LO-ODU. The ADM includes a converting unit that converts the first MSI values which correspond to the HO-ODUs and each of which identifies a different one of the LO-ODUs, into second MSI values which correspond to the ODU4 and each of which identifies a different one of the LO-ODUs. The ADM includes an ODU processing unit that extracts the LO-ODUs from the ODU4, on the basis of the second MSI values resulting from the conversion by the converting unit.
