Abstract: A route computation method and system, and a path computation element (PCE) are provided.

Abstract: A method and a network device for realizing shared mesh protection are provided. The method includes the following steps. If a status change of a working label switching path (LSP) is detected, routing information and bandwidth information about the working LSP are notified to every node on a protection LSP corresponding to the working LSP. Every node on the protection LSP calculates a maximal reserved bandwidth of a link based on the received routing information and bandwidth information and adjusts a shared protection bandwidth of the link according to the maximal reserved bandwidth.

Abstract: A method for configuring operation, administration and maintenance (OAM) properties, a system for configuring OAM properties, and a node device are provided. The method includes: delivering a message carrying OAM property configuration indicating information; and flowing through a plurality of nodes to be configured in the process of delivering the message, and configuring, by each of the nodes to be configured, an OAM property of the present node according to the OAM property configuration indicating information in the message flowing through the present node.

Abstract: A route computation method includes: receiving, by a first bottom-level PCE, a path computation command, performing a route computation on a routing domain managed thereby, obtaining and sending a path segment set with a first node to an upper-level PCE thereof; sending, by the upper-level PCE receiving the path segment set sent by a lower-level PCE, the path computation command to another lower-level PCE according to routing domains that a path to be established between the first node and a second node sequentially passes through, receiving path segment sets sent by all lower-level PCEs, and combining and sending all the received path segment sets to an upper-level PCE thereof, until a top-level PCE receives path segment sets sent by all lower-level PCEs thereof; and combining, by the top-level PCE, all the received path segment sets to generate a set of paths between the first node and the second node.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling link aggregation are provided. When a transmission path for transmitting data is established, it is detected whether an available bandwidth of a bearer link at a destination end of the transmission path to be established is sufficient for bearing the data to be transmitted. If not, it is determined whether the destination end has sufficient available aggregatable Ethernet links for bearing the data to be transmitted. If the destination end has sufficient available aggregatable Ethernet links for bearing the data to be transmitted, the destination end is notified to perform a link aggregation sufficient for bearing the data to be transmitted.

Abstract: A method for protection switching decision includes: performing performance monitoring and failure detection on a first transmitting entity that transmits services; performing performance monitoring and failure detection on a second transmitting entity that does not transmit services; and making protection switching decision according to the performance monitoring and failure detection results of the first transmitting entity and second transmitting entity. A system for performance monitoring is also disclosed. In embodiments of the present invention, performance monitoring may be performed on the transmitting entity that does not transmit services, thus avoiding invalid switching of services and improving the quality of services.

Abstract: A method for fault detect, report and maintenance negotiation control of the multi-segment pseudo wire. The method of detect is that an end-to-end detection message which is transmitted by a source node is transparently transmitted by a switching node to an ultimate node, thereby realizing the end-to-end detection. The method for reporting the fault is that the switching node transmits a fault notification message transparently transmitted and carrying the fault information to a downstream ultimate node when detecting the fault. The method of maintenance negotiation control is that the fault detection information and the fault reporting capability information are carried in the established message during establishing the multi-segment pseudo wire and enables the terminal to flexibly select the maintenance method which accords with the predetermined policy according to the finally supported capability.

Abstract: The invention discloses a virtual protection method for a fiber path. In the method, an optical port is physically divided into multiple minimum protection units. Based on the minimum protection units, a system is divided into more than one logic-system. In a logic-system, each node can work in one of four working modes: normal working mode, passing working mode, bridging working mode and switching working mode. When it is necessary to provide protection, a node is switched from normal working mode to the other three working modes through multiplex section protection, or sub-network connection protection, or channel protection etc. The invention also discloses a virtual protection device for a fiber path. With the method and the device according to the invention, not only disadvantages of the prior protection mode can be overcome, but also transmission networking can be more flexible, and this protection mode can satisfy the increasing requirements of users.
