Description

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING Duplication < RTI ID = 0.0 > INFORMATION < / RTI > FOR OVERLAPPING CONSTRUCTION &

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for providing redundant construction information, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for providing information on other construction affected by the construction of a wired / wireless communication network.

In the network (network), 'construction' is required to change various network configurations to accommodate new services or expand or contract them.

Such network construction is generally performed by physical change or logical change of new installation, change, or removal of equipment, lines, and cables, and is managed by being divided into specific networks such as general network management.

In other words, the domain is divided and managed by various hierarchy and division according to the management convenience of the network. Typical examples are a transport network concentrating only on high-performance signal transmission, an IP backbone network covering a nationwide packet communication An IP access network concentrating on home connection for nationwide packets, and a line dealing only with optical cable lines.

By this distinction, network construction can be organized and managed for each domain.

For example, the line responsible for fiber optic cable installs a separate cable, and the IP department in charge of IP equipment installs IP equipment separately.

In this way, if a separate redundancy relationship is established between separate departments of separate departments, even if they are simultaneously constructed in two different domains, the construction is performed without mutual influence .

However, in this case, the redundancy relationship means that, in addition to the actual service line, a spare line is provided to serve a plurality of routes. However, when a specific line does not operate, the corresponding traffic is only served by the remaining lines. In the case of a failure, it refers to a relation in which the spare line operates.

For reference, redundancy in the sense of putting another spare line in addition to one main line is generally used, but in reality, it is referred to as a redundancy relation including a case where one or more spare lines are multiplexed.

However, according to the recent high efficiency policy of telecommunication network, there is a movement to reduce the redundant section in order to reduce the cost. In the telecommunication industry, this phenomenon is duplicated only in the necessary section, or when the existing redundancy degree is reduced, And it can reduce the network operation cost.

However, this reduction in duplication rate has the disadvantage of increasing the risk that the duplicated construction mentioned above leads to large disability.

If both the equipment construction of the two lines and the optical cable construction of the other line are performed at the same time, both of the two lines may not work.

In order to prevent this, when there is a network construction between the related departments, various communication costs are incurred in order to continuously communicate whether there is no mutual influence. Such communication costs are caused by various and complex network domains In modern network management, it is expected that the more the redundancy rate is reduced, the more it will increase.

In order to solve the above-described problems of the conventional art, the present invention provides information on construction that affects mutually different complex domains when constructing networks of different complex domains.

The objects of the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned objects, and other objects not mentioned can be clearly understood from the following description.

In order to achieve the above object, an apparatus for providing information on construction that is scheduled to be performed according to an aspect of the present invention includes a construction information storage unit for storing information on a first construction to be implemented, And information on a connection relationship between the communication networks, information on a second construction to be enforced is input, and based on the inputted information on the second construction, Based on the information on the second construction and the information on the facility affected by the second construction from the construction information storage part, And an overlapped construction information providing unit for searching for a construction that overlaps with the second construction.
