  • Systems and methods for automatic topology provisioning for SONET networks
    Patent number: 7170851
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatic provisioning of topology for SONET networks are disclosed. The method for topology provisioning generally includes mapping the network topology based on network connection information, verifying that the network elements complete a ring formation, obtaining protection scheme information, and automatically provisioning time-division multiplexing group (TDMG) and/or facility fault protection (FFP) depending upon the protection mechanism.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 26, 2001
    Date of Patent: January 30, 2007
    Assignee: Ciena Corporation
    Inventors: Hechun Chen, Perin N. Jathavedam
  • Systems and methods for automatic end-to-end path provisioning for SONET networks
    Patent number: 7058012
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatic end-to-end paths for SONET networks are disclosed. The method for path provisioning generally includes obtaining path parameters for each network element, performing discovery of paths including determining connection possibilities based upon the path parameters, and provisioning an end-to-end STS-n path based on the paths resulting from the discovery.
