Abstract:
There is provided a method for resizing a network connection in an optical transport network that supports protection switching and receives a flexible Optical channel Data (ODUflex(GFP)) signal. In addition, Hitless Adjustment of ODUflex(GFP) (HAO) procedure includes Suppress Bandwidth Resize (SBR) information that prevents a Bandwidth Resize (BWR) protocol from being initiated. Based on the SBR information, only the LCR protocol is executed at nodes located on a protection path for protection switching, except for the BWR protocol. On the other hand, both the LCR protocol and the BWR protocol are executed at nodes located on a working path.

In addition, at nodes located on a protection path for protection switching, only a Link Connection Resize (LCR) protocol, except for a Bandwidth Resize (BWR) protocol, of Hitless Adjustment of ODUflex(GFP) (HAO) procedure is executed. On the other hand, both the LCR protocol and the BWR protocol are executed at nodes located on a working path for protection switching.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for measuring a delay. The apparatus for measuring a delay includes an overhead inserting unit configured to inserting a time stamp into an overhead of a multiframe to be transmitted from a first location to a second location; an overhead extracting unit configured to extract a time stamp from an overhead of a multiframe received from the second location, the time stamp including bypass delay information of the second location; and a delay measuring unit configured to measure a round trip delay between the first location and the second location using the inserted time stamp and the extracted time stamp and adjust the measured round trip delay using the extracted bypass delay information.
