Publication number: 20090196202Abstract: A transmitting apparatus in a network constituted of a plurality of rings connected via a plurality of routes includes a node type determining unit and a backup path setting message transmitting unit. The node type determining unit determines, on receipt of a working path setting message requesting to set a working path, whether the transmitting apparatus is any one of a branch node at which a backup path is branched off from the working path or a merge node at which the backup path merges into the working path. The backup path setting message transmitting unit transmits, when the transmitting apparatus is determined to be a branch node or a merge node, a backup path setting message specifying a route from a ring including the transmitting apparatus to a connection node connecting the ring and a neighboring ring.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 5, 2009Publication date: August 6, 2009Applicant: FUJITSU LIMITEDInventors: Yasuki FUJII, Shinya KANO, Yuji TOCHIO, Kazuyuki TAJIMA, Keiji MIYAZAKI

Publication number: 20090182801Abstract: When opposed communication transmitting apparatuses A and C are connected in a physical configuration thorough a communication transmitting apparatus B, if an interface configuration changing command is input to the communication transmitting apparatus B, the interface configuration is changed in the communication transmitting apparatus B and virtual connection is achieved such that the opposed communication transmitting apparatuses A and C pass through the communication transmitting apparatus B to directly connect an interface A1 and an interface C1. In this situation, since the GMPLS operation target apparatuses are only the communication transmitting apparatus A and the communication transmitting apparatus C and the communication transmitting apparatus B is a non-target apparatus of the GMPLS operation, the GMPLS scalability problem is solved and optical signals may be transferred at higher speed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2008Publication date: July 16, 2009Applicant: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Keiji Miyazaki, Akira Nagata, Shinya Kano, Yasuki Fujii

Patent number: 7502389Abstract: A communications network system, which is comprised of a management network, a control network, and a user transmission network, includes signaling-based communication apparatuses, each consisting of a control node and a communication node, and non-signaling-based communication apparatuses without having associated control nodes. In this system, a path can be established in a user data transmission network by controlling a signaling process on the control network. The configuration of the communication node of the non-signaling-based communication apparatus is changed by a network management system provided in the management network, while the configuration of the communication nodes of the signaling-based communication apparatus are changed by the associated control nodes by successively transmitting a signaling message to the next control node on the control network.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2003Date of Patent: March 10, 2009Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Norihiko Shinomiya, Keiji Miyazaki

Patent number: 7424220Abstract: An optical transmission system that offers more efficient bandwidth usage in normal operation, as well as enhanced fault tolerance for higher service availability. A transponder converts high-priority and low-priority client signals into high-priority and low-priority wavelength signals to be added to network traffic. An optical switch fabric normally delivers high-priority and low-priority wavelength signals to high-priority and low-priority paths, respectively, where the two paths run in opposite directions. Such signals and paths are prioritized in terms of survivability against network failure. In case of a network failure, the optical switch fabric performs protection switching in either duplicate switching mode or path switchover mode depending on network failure information and drop wavelengths of each optical transmission device. In duplicate switching mode, high-priority wavelength signals are directed to both the high-priority and low-priority paths.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2004Date of Patent: September 9, 2008Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventor: Keiji Miyazaki
