Abstract:
A frame transmission controlling apparatus includes: a list configuration unit managing a parameter related to a gate control; a cycle timer unit managing a start timing of a cycle; a list executing unit performing the gate control based on the parameter, wherein the list executing unit includes: a cycle executing state machine setting an expiration time of at least one section included in the cycle, checking gate operation information corresponding to a list pointer indicating the at least one section, and performing a control corresponding to the gate operation information; a delaying state machine deducting and updating the expiration time by a predetermined unit; a cycle holding state machine generating a control signal indicating stopping transmission in MAC; and a cycle releasing state machine generating a control signal indicating resuming the transmission in MAC.
Abstract:
A method of operating a root node in a multipoint-connection with a plurality of leaf nodes, the method including transmitting/receiving traffic with the plurality of leaf nodes via a working path, receiving, from a leaf node, a message indicating an occurrence of a failure on a path of the leaf node from among the plurality of leaf nodes, recognizing an occurrence of a local failure on the path connected to the leaf node, and transmitting information about the failure to the leaf node.
Abstract:
Provided is a packet transmission apparatus including at least one user network interface (UNI) line card configured to receive traffic including a client signal, a fabric switch configured to perform switching on the traffic based on a unit of line card, a network-to-network interface working (NNI-W) line card configured to generate a multiprotocol label switching-transport profile (MPLS-TP) working tunnel to transmit the traffic transferred through the fabric switch, and a network-to-network interface protection (NNI-P) line card configured to generate a MPLS-TP protection tunnel to transmit the traffic transferred through the fabric switch when a fault occurs on a path of the NNI-W line card.
Abstract:
Provided is an operation method of a node, the method including recognizing multiple failures occurring in a protected domain, transmitting a message including failure information, multiple-failure information, and used path information to a second node when the multiple failures are recognized, and performing a protection switching to a used path determined based on a priority for each of the multiple failures.
Abstract:
Provided is a linear protection switching method of a node, wherein the method includes selecting a local request based on a priority of at least one local request, determining a global request based on a priority between the selected local request and a remote message, and performing a state transition based on the global request.
Abstract:
A method of operating a root node in which the root node transmits/receives traffic with a plurality of leaf nodes through a plurality of working paths is disclosed, the method including receiving, from a first leaf node, a first signal failure (SF) message indicating an occurrence of a failure on a first working path of the first leaf node, receiving traffic from the first leaf node by switching the first working path to a first protection path, and receiving traffic from remaining leaf nodes aside from the first leaf node while maintaining the working path.
Abstract:
Provided are a forced protection switching method and a forced protection switching clearing method in an Ethernet ring network. When an operator desires to block a port of a specific node for maintenance and repair, the operator gives a forced switching (FS) command to the specific node in order to block the port. When the operator desires to clear FS, the operator gives a clear command to the specific node in order to clear the blocked port. As a result, operation flexibility of the Ethernet ring network is provided.
Abstract:
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a method for estimating a total link service rate using packet metadata, the method comprising: extracting a packet satisfying a predetermined condition from each flow; extracting a link service rate from metadata of the extracted packet; and estimating a total link service rate based on the extracted link service rate, wherein the packet satisfying the predetermined condition is determined based on an estimation reference time and finish times of consecutive packets, and wherein the finish times indicates ideal transmission finish times of the packets.
Abstract:
A midplane communication system includes: a midplane; at least one front daughter card configured to connect to a front side of the midplane; at least one rear daughter card configured to connect to a rear side of the midplane in a vertical direction relative to the front daughter card; and an orthogonal connector configured to electrically connect the front daughter card and the rear daughter card, wherein the orthogonal connector is configured to connect to the midplane at a vertical or horizontal offset to include at least one extra connection pin allowing an additional connection when connecting the front daughter card and the rear daughter card.
Abstract:
A communication terminal performing protection switching in a shared mesh network is provided. The communication terminal configured to transmit and receive data traffic associated with a first working path may include a processor configured to encode, in an optical channel data unit (ODU) including the data traffic, a first operation command message to be received from a first end node, and a communicator configured to transmit the ODU to a neighboring node, in which the first end node is present in a second working path.
