Abstract:
When a transmitting apparatus wants to transmit a preemptable frame, the transmitting apparatus transmits a preemptable packet by a custom preamble including frame length information on a payload of the preemptable frame to the payload of the preemptable frame. A receiving apparatus determines whether a received preemptable frame is fragmented using frame length information set in the custom preamble of the received preemptable frame. As described above, since it is possible to check whether the received frame is fragmented using the frame length information set in the custom preamble, there is no need to perform CRC calculation to determine whether the received frame is fragmented as in the prior art.
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:
An apparatus and method for processing a packet in a multi-protocol label switching-transport profile (MPLS-TP) network are provided. In the method of processing a packet, a packet transport layer (PTL) index and a layer stack (LS) or multiple label pop (MPOP) loopback header are used, and it is possible to remove a size limitation on lookup results of a lookup table when multiple labels are stacked, and solve the problem of having to extract all labels as label keys regardless of label operations upon an incoming label map (ILM) table lookup.
