Abstract: A passive optical network (PON) method and device using network sharing are disclosed. The PON slicing method includes identifying network elements included in a plurality of physical PONs (pPONs), abstracting the identified network elements to be recognized as a same software block, generating a plurality of virtual PONs (vPONs) according to a user requirement using the plurality of pPONs, and mapping the generated plurality of vPONs by performing PON slicing on the abstracted network elements.

Abstract: A photonic frame switching system may include a main controller and at least one photonic frame wrapper line card. The main controller may determine a point in time at which a photonic frame wrapper line card transmits a photonic frame by allocating a time slot to the photonic frame wrapper line card. When the photonic frame switching system includes a plurality of photonic frame wrapper line cards, points in times at which the plurality of photonic frame wrapper line cards transmits the photonic frames may be synchronized. In particular, when a portion of the plurality of photonic frame wrapper line cards transmit a plurality of photonic frames having different destinations, points in times at which all of the plurality of photonic frame wrapper line cards transmits the photonic frames may be adjusted based on a latency by a destination change.

Abstract: A photonic frame switching method and system. The photonic frame switching method includes resetting, by a second input module receiving a master notification, a second timeslot counter used in the second input module to be synchronized with a first timeslot counter used in a first input module, and transmitting a photonic frame from each of a plurality of input modules to a photonic switch fabric device according to a timeslot allocated to each of the input modules based on a scheduling acknowledgement signal transmitted from a main controller, based on the synchronized first and second timeslot counters.

Abstract: In order to perform protection switching of a frame that is transmitted and received between a packet processor and a host processor, when an input frame is a receiving frame and a signal failure has occurred, by transporting a message including a protection switching command to a packet processor, protection switching is performed. Information representing that protection switching is performed is recorded in a header of the receiving frame, and a frame including a message including a corresponding header is transported to the host processor.

Abstract: A MPLS-TP network includes a first router, at least one second router, and a third router. The first router is set to a MEP and generates and transmits a link trace packet. The second router is set to an MIP, generates a response packet in response to reception of the link trace packet, transmits the response packet in a direction of the first router, and forwards the link trace packet. The third router is set to the MEP, generates a response packet in response to reception of the forwarded link trace packet, and transmits the response packet in the first router direction.

Abstract: The inventive concept relates to a method of managing a packet being transmitted through a packet transmission network. The method may include distinguishing a buffer unit corresponding to the received data packet among a plurality of buffer units according to a type of a data packet received from the outside; comparing the number of packets stored in the distinguished buffer unit with a critical value; storing the received data packet in the distinguished buffer unit or a sub buffer unit corresponding to the distinguished buffer unit according to the comparing result; and transmitting the data packet stored in the distinguished buffer unit through a working path of the backbone network and transmitting the data packet stored in the sub buffer unit through a protection path of the backbone network.
