Abstract:
For a frame comprising a payload region in which a client signal is to be accommodated, and an overhead region accommodation location information indicating a location where the client signal is to be accommodated, the frame being able to be processed as an m (m is an integer equal to or greater than 2)-byte cycle multiframe, the location information for the frame is defined as an m×n (n is an integer equal to or greater than 2)-byte cycle multiframe; using the location information defined as the multiframe, the location where the client signal is to be accommodated in the payload region is defined; and the client signal is accommodated in the payload region, based on the defined location where the client signal is to be accommodated.
Abstract:
A transmission device includes a processor configured to arrange a traffic in one or more slots assigned, based on slot information, in an overhead among slots of a frame signal received in one of a first transmitter/receiver and a second transmitter/receiver and to be transmitted from the other, acquire traffic information that indicates an increase or decrease in the traffic, and update the slot information so that a number of slots in which the traffic is accommodated increases or decreases, based on the traffic information, generate a message regarding update of the slot information based on the increase or decrease in the traffic, and insert the message into the overhead of the frame signal received in the one of the first transmitter/receiver and the second transmitter/receiver and to be transmitted from the other.
Abstract:
A transmission apparatus interconnects a core network for making a communication by forming a connection and a metro network for m a communication by adding an address to data and by executing a forwarding process. The transmission apparatus includes a function of transmitting the data to the connection of the core network, to which an address of the metro network is made to correspond, and transfers the data to the connection of the core network, which is made to correspond to the address added to the data received from the metro network.
Abstract:
Optical transmission device includes: first frame generator, second frame generator and transmission circuits. The first frame generator generates first frame. The second frame generator generates one or a plurality of second frames from the first frame. The number of the second frames corresponds to bandwidth of the first frame. The transmission circuits transmit the second frames. When specified bit pattern is transmitted to second optical transmission device, (1) the first frame generator generates third frame including the specified bit pattern, bandwidth of the third frame being equal to or smaller than bandwidth of the second frame, (2) the second frame generator generates fourth frame having the same format as a format of the second frame, the third frame being accommodated in the fourth frame, and (3) the fourth frame is transmitted to the second optical transmission device by selected one of the transmission circuits.
Abstract:
A transmission apparatus includes: a switch circuit to hold a first protection path provided for a working path in a first network, a second protection path provided for the working path in a second network, and a bridge path provided between a working apparatus to relay traffic on the working path between the first and second networks and a protection apparatus to relay traffic on the first and second protection paths; and a signal processing unit to, upon reception of a first control signal indicating a failure on the working path from the first network, transmit the first control signal to the working apparatus and control the switch circuit in accordance with a second control signal corresponding to the first control signal received from the working apparatus, wherein the transmission apparatus is the protection apparatus, and is provided on a boundary between the first and second networks.
