Abstract: A link state packet transmission method and a routing node are disclosed. The method is applied to a tree topology, where the tree topology includes a leaf routing node, an intermediate routing node, and a root routing node. The method includes: receiving, by the intermediate routing node, a link state packet sent by a child routing node of the intermediate routing node; sending, by the intermediate routing node, the link state packet to the root routing node, where the root routing node is configured to aggregate received link state packets to obtain a link state packet set; receiving, by the intermediate routing node, the link state packet set sent by the root routing node; and sending, by the intermediate routing node, the link state packet set to the child routing node of the intermediate routing node.

Abstract: A technique and apparatus is disclosed for the optical monitoring and measurement of a thin film (or small region on a surface) undergoing thickness and other changes while it is rotating. An optical signal is routed from the monitored area through the axis of rotation and decoupled from the monitored rotating area. The signal can then be analyzed to determine an endpoint to the planarization process. The invention utilizes interferometric and spectrophotometric optical measurement techniques for the in situ, real-time endpoint control of chemical-mechanical polishing planarization in the fabrication of semiconductor or various optical devices. The apparatus utilizes a bifurcated fiber optic cable to monitor changes on the surface of the thin film.
