摘要:
A method for restoration from a fault in a communication network formed by interconnecting a plurality of nodes including at least one set of node equipment each including a line terminal equipment and an optical cross-connect equipment, via a plurality of transmission lines using optical fibers. According to this method for restoration from a fault, if a line terminal equipment of at least one set of node equipment has detected a fault in an optical fiber under communication, it gives a command functioning as trigger for optical fiber change-over to an optical cross-connect equipment included in the node equipment. Upon receiving this command functioning as the trigger, the optical cross-connect equipment exchanges change-over control information indicating optical switch setting situation between it and an optical cross-connect equipment included in another node equipment, and forms a restoration route.

摘要:
Input/output fibers for the optical cross-connect system are classified into working fibers and protecting fibers. In a normal time (a state in which there occurs no failure), there turns out to be a one-to-one correspondence between a line terminal and a working fiber. Namely, connection property required for the switch matrix in the optical cross-connect system is not necessarily strictly non-blocking connections among all of the fibers. The connection property is a one-to-one connection relationship with the working fibers, and is a predetermined connection relationship with the protecting fibers at the time of a failure occurrence. Utilization thereof makes it possible to extremely downsize scale of the switch.
