Publication number: 20130121338Abstract: In an MPLS or GMPLS network, links for hops of a communication path and adaptation to be implemented on the border of management domains or layers are automatically appropriately selected based on a service type or a requirement for maintenance without the necessity of complicating a control sequence. First, a unit that appends an identifier of a service to be provided and an attribute of the service to a communication path establishment control message, and requests path establishment is installed in a source node. Secondly, a unit that determines a requirement for maintenance of the communication path and adaptation on the basis of the service identifier and/or service attribute is installed in each node. Thirdly, maintenance attributes of network resources are compared with the requirement for maintenance in order to determine links and nodes through which the communication path passes.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2012Publication date: May 16, 2013Applicant: HITACHI, LTD.Inventors: Kazuhiro KUSAMA, Shuji MAEDA
