Whether or not measurement data is not notified can be recognized, for example, by setting a flag indicating that the measurement data is not notified each time the measurement data is recorded in the register. In the initial state of path monitoring, there is no unreported measurement data. In this case, the transmission apparatus 2-1 transmits a test signal to the transmission apparatus 3-1 through the selected measurement path (step S4).
- step S3 when there is unreported measurement data at the time of transmission of the test signal (step S3: Yes), the transmission device 2-1 reads it and adds it to the current test signal (steps S5 and S6). The flag is canceled (step S7), and the test signal with the measurement data added is transmitted to the transmission device 3-1 (step S4).
- the transmission apparatus 3-1 When the transmission apparatus 3-1 receives the test signal 111 from the transmission apparatus 2-1 through the measurement path (step S11), the transmission apparatus 3-1 checks whether the test signal 111 includes measurement data. If not included, the process proceeds to the next step (step S12: No).

Further, the transmission apparatus 2-1 measures communication quality using the received test signal, and creates measurement data D that is a measurement result. As a result, the transmission device 2-1 records the round-trip communication quality for the path 4-3 (SQ8). The transmission apparatus 2-1 transmits the test signal to which the measurement data D is added to the transmission apparatus 3-1 through a new measurement path (SQ9).
- the transmission apparatus 2-1 and the transmission apparatus 3-1 proceed with the measurement of the protection path group according to the above procedure. If the working path is switched halfway, a path other than the new working path is recognized as a backup path. For example, when the working path is switched from the path 4-1 to the path 4-2, the set of paths (4-1, 4-3 to 4-N) excluding the path 4-2 is recognized as the backup path group. .
- FIG. 6 shows an example of measurement data obtained by the above sequence.
- the illustrated table is recorded by the transmission apparatus 2-1.

- the path 4-1 is recognized as the working path.
- the transmission apparatus 2-1 confirms whether or not unreported measurement data is recorded in the transmission apparatus 3-1, and if there is no unreported measurement data (step S33: No), the client signal 11 is transmitted. It transmits to the transmission apparatus 3-1 through the working path (4-1) (step S34). If there is unreported measurement data at the time of transmission of the client signal (step S33: Yes), the transmission apparatus 2-1 reads it and adds it to the current client signal (steps S35 and S36), and has not yet been notified. The flag is released (step S37). Then, the client signal added with the measurement data is transmitted to the transmission device 3-1 (step S34).
- step S41 the transmission apparatus 3-1 confirms whether the client signal 11 includes measurement data. If not included, the transmission apparatus 3-1 performs error correction by FEC (forward error correction code) or the like on the client signal 11 and transfers it to the client apparatus 1-2, and proceeds to the next step (step S42: No).
