To be described in detail each preferred embodiment of the present invention below in conjunction with Fig. 1-Fig. 5.
The apparatus and method that upgrade to automatic switching optical network device of the present invention, based on the existing transmission network equipment of extensively having runed, increased the control plane functional unit, make existing transmission equipment realize the function of intelligent optical network equipment, thereby realized existing network seamlessly transitting to ASON.
Device updating method of the present invention need be considered following requirement: in the transmission equipment of crossing is arranged, make original cross-over configuration dynamic by being updated to of static state, promptly form so-called dynamic exchange ability.
For this reason, the hardware characteristics of what's new structure of the present invention is to need and can not conflict with original rack management mode, communication modes, groove bit architecture, guarantees the needs of 1+1 redundancy scheme simultaneously; The existing equipment function is as far as possible only carried out the upgrading and the expansion of software in principle, does not carry out the large-scale redevelopment of hardware; Thereby, realize function support to intelligent optical node device by on the adding hardware basis, original hardware being carried out the co-ordination that software upgrading can realize what's new and original function.
The present invention program is based on the architectural framework of existing transmission network equipment, increase the function of control plane, with on the basis that is implemented in traditional transmission network equipment management plane/transmission plane double-layer structure to the support of management plane/control plane/three layers of ASON structure updating in transmission plane.Apparatus and method of the present invention can be applicable to adopt different bottom technology to realize the transfer equipment of configurable intersection.
For upgrading that realizes the network equipment and the support that subsequent network is upgraded, device of the present invention obtains by adopting the mode to the compatible upgrading of traditional transmission network, and this apparatus structure is supported the function on ASON network device management plane, control plane, transmission plane.As shown in Figure 1, the ASON network equipment 000 of the present invention comprises: newly-increased controlled function unit 100, the intrinsic network element agency 200 of equipment, controlled function unit network element internal interface 111, controlled function unit network element external interface 121,122, network element agent network element internal interface 211, network element agent network element external interface 221,222, network element control unit and management function interface 312.Wherein:
Described intrinsic NE management agency 200 and relevant interface the 211,221, the 222nd, the part of conventional transmission equipment, can be with transmitting the non-ASON transmission equipment that plane function constitutes configurable cross reference, its function comprises the management function of basic connection configuration, service management and network element device; The circuit-board card characteristics are to possess the Network Element Layer controlled function, can communicate by communication interface 221 and webmaster, can by interface 312 realize to the management of controlled function unit and between information interaction; Interface message comprises management function interactive information such as configuration between network element and the Element management system, alarm, performance and to the management information of newly-increased control unit.
Behind the described newly-increased control unit 100 device access devices, can connect with transmission plane device and administrative unit agency 200 by the former communication bus carrying of equipment relevant interface 111,312 signals.
Described intrinsic network element agency 200 mainly finishes Network Element Layer management function and agency, is the circuit board piece that legacy equipment is realized NE management.Can realize managing the mutual of information by network element external interface 221 with the direct communication of upper strata webmaster, the transmission that can manage information by network element external interface 222 by public data communication network DCN is with mutual, can the embedded channel by the transmission aspect realize network management information mutual between network element by the network element external interface, therefore for network management system can be in different ways (in the band/generation outside, directly/indirectly) realize the mutual of network management information and transmit; Can realize communicating by letter and information interaction of NE management agency and transmission aspect by network element internal interface 211; Can realize and the communicating to connect and information interaction of controlled function unit 100 by network element internal interface 312.
