Abstract

PURPOSE:To detect a ring fault area and to quickly recover the operation in a duplicated ring network by transmitting and receiving a confirmed frame between adjacent transmitting devices when a ring fault occurs. CONSTITUTION:The occurrence of a serious ring fault is decided in case a bucket exchanging action is not recovered for a fixed time due to such a trouble where the bucket transmission right is lost between both systems of a transmission line. Thus each transmitting device 1 works independently in a fault recovery mode. In this mode, all devices 1 send information frames where global addresses receivable at all devices 1 are set to both systems. When receiving the information frame, each device 1 sends a response to a sending side via a system 2 which is opposite to a system 1. When the responses are returned from both systems while the mode is checked, it is decided that no fault is generated at the periphery of its own device 1. Thus the response is returned from the system 2 only and the system 1 sends back no response. In such a case, the input of the system 2 is returned to the output of the system 1 by its own device 1.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, this type of transmission equipment constituting a ring network has a packet switching function using a token passing procedure via the ring, a function of transmitting a carrier signal to a downstream transmission equipment on a transmission path, and a function of transmitting a carrier signal to a downstream transmission equipment through a transmission path. It was equipped with a function to detect the carrier signal from the upstream transmission device, and was configured to be able to detect a serious ring failure by detecting a loss of the carrier signal from the upstream transmission signal.

Next, the above conventional operation will be explained. Transmission device 21-
If both transmission paths 22 between 1 and 21-4 are disconnected, the transmission bag 5121-1 detects the disconnection of the carrier signal of the 1 system. The transmission bag [21-4] detects a carrier signal disconnection in the 2nd system. If each transmission device 21 determines that it can normally perform packet exchange in a system different from the one in which it detected the failure, it is sufficient to use only the normal ring. However, normal packet exchange is not possible even on a ring with no fault detected.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the conventional distributed transmission device described above, the loopback point is determined by detecting an abnormality in the carrier signal from upstream. If the power is cut and communication is not possible between the transmission devices before and after the power is cut off, it is possible to recover from the failure, but if the communication abnormality is due to a failure inside the transmission device, the carrier signal abnormality cannot be detected and the ring failure cannot be recovered. There was a drawback that it could not be done.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained. If the packet switching operation is not restored for a certain period of time, such as when packet transmission rights are lost on both sides of the transmission path, it is determined that a serious ring failure has occurred, and each transmission device 1 independently operates in a failure recovery mode. . In this mode, all transmission devices send a notification frame to both systems with a global address that can be received by all transmission devices. Each transmission device 1 that has received the notification frame returns a response to the sender using the second system, which is the opposite of the first system that received the notification frame. At this time, each transmission device 1 is able to transmit frames regardless of the transmission/reception rights. During the check in this mode, (1) if responses are returned from both systems, it is determined that no failure has occurred around the own transmission device.

(2) If a response is returned only from the 1st system and no response is returned from the 2nd system, the own transmission device loops the 1st system input to the 2nd system output.

In this way, according to the embodiment described above, each transmission device 1 independently detects the ring state around itself by using the packet reception/transmission procedure, so that operations can be reliably restored. Furthermore, since fault detection and checking are performed by packet switching, which is the original operation, processing reliability is higher (less malfunctions occur) than in carrier detection methods. Furthermore, even if a failure occurs in the packet switching control section within the transmission device, operations can be restored using similar processing.
