Description

开销修改及防止子网同时倒换的方法、 装置、 网元和网络
技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域的传输设备和光传送网领域， 尤其涉及一种开销修 改及防止子网同时倒换的方法、 装置、 网元和网络。
背景技术
光传送网（ OTN, Optical Transport Network )标准由国际电信联盟（ ITU-T ) 制定， 是传输设备的重要标准， 现在几乎所有的长距传输网络都由基于光传 送网标准的设备组成。
光传送网有其标准的信号格式， 称为 ODUi信号 (i=0,l,2,3,4,2e,3e,flex) ( ODU: Optical channel Data Unit, 光通道数据单元） ， 光传送网内部只处 理 ODUi信号， 需要被光传送网传输的各种非光传送网信号在进入光传送网 的接入点时就会被转换为合适的 ODUi信号， 以后 ODUi信号在光传送网中 传送， 直到达到目的点后从 ODUi中解映射出各种非光传送网信号， 从而实 现各种非光传送网信号在光传送网上的接入点和目的地之间的传送。 ODUi 只能在光传送网设备内部存在， 如果要在光传送网设备之间传送则必须将其 转换为 OTUk ( k=l,2,3,4,2e,3e ) ( OUT: Optical Transform Unit, 光转化 单元） ， 一般来说多个 ODUi会被复用到一个 OTUk中传送， 以提高传送效 率， ODUi和 OTUk都是光传送网信号。 ODUi和 OTUk的定义来自 ITU-T G.709标准。
光传送网是传输距离最长的网络， 其网络结构相对于其他通讯网络来说 也是最复杂的。 在光传送网中， 处理光传送网信号的站点叫做网元， 多个网 元通过光传送网信号 OTUk连接起来组成子网 （文中称为光传送子网） ， 一 个光传送网一般由多个子网组成， 每个子网可能属于不同设备商或运营商的 设备， 同一个设备商或运营商的设备也可能根据地域关系划分为多个子网， 光传送网可以实现基于子网的保护倒换， 当多个子网同时具备保护倒换功能 时， 根据现有的光传送网实现技术， 只要同时具备保护倒换功能的子网之间 没有嵌套关系， 则每个子网的保护倒换不会影响其他子网， 下面举例说明。 图 1示出了以串联方式连接的具备保护倒换功能的两个光传送子网， 其 中网元 1至 6组成一个具备 1+1保护倒换功能的子网 A,其中网元 1 , 2, 3 , 4为工作路径， 网元 1 , 5, 6, 4为保护路径； 网元 7至 12组成一个具备 1+1 保护倒换功能的子网 B, 其中网元 7, 8, 9, 10为工作路径， 网元 7, 11 , 12, 10为保护路径， 为了描述方便， 假设所有业务方向都是单向的， 方向如 图中箭头所示， 实际上两个相反方向的单向子网即可组成一个双向子网， 所 以本文虽然用单向子网说明， 但结果同样适用于双向子网。
图 1中的两个子网以串联方式连接。 根据光传送网标准， 光传送网支持 子网保护倒换， 子网保护倒换通过串联连接监测 （TCM )开销实现。 TCM 开销是光传送网中定义的支持子网性能检测的开销， TCM有 6 级， 分别为 TCM1-TCM6, 经过合理划分 TCM的使用范围后， TCM可以用来单独检测 子网状态， 并排除其他子网对本子网状态的影响。 在光传送网中， 为了实现 子网保护倒换， 需要给每个支持保护倒换的子网分配一个 TCM开销， 每个 子网通过检测分给其的 TCM开销的状态判断是否需要触发保护倒换。 对于 上图中的串联子网， 可以给子网 A和子网 B都分配 TCM1开销， 图中的虚 线是 TCM开销的传递路径， TCM开销和业务一起传送， 子网 A使用 TCM1 开销作为其保护倒换判断依据， TCM1的起点为网元 1终点为网元 4,子网 B 也使用 TCM1作为其保护倒换判断依据， TCM1的起点为网元 7终点为网元 10, 这样上图中的网元 4和网元 10都根据 TCM1开销的状态判断是否应该 保护倒换。
假设子网 A内部网元 2到网元 3之间的光纤中断，如图 2中的叉号所示， 网元 3检测到 ODU层失效后会将失效的 ODUi信号替换为 ODUi-AIS信号 (AIS: Alarm Indication Signal, 告警指示信号）， ODUi-AIS是光传送网标准 定义的光传送网信号的维护信号， 其中的 TCM1-STAT开销的值为 111时表 示处于 TCM1-AIS状态。 网元 4接收到网元 3发来的 ODUi-AIS后， 通过检 测 TCM1-STAT开销发现 TCM1-STAT处于 TCM1-AIS状态， 此时认为业务 失效， 网元 4会启动保护倒换， 在保护倒换没有正式生效前会透传网元 3发 来的 ODUi-AIS信号， 由于网元 4是 TCM1的终点， 所以网元 4会将其输出 的 ODUi-AIS中的 TCM1-STAT开销改为 TCM1-LTC状态，表示 TCM1开销 资源已被释放。 网元 4发出的 ODUi-AIS传送到子网 B的网元 7后， 由于网 元 7 是 TCM1 的起点， 会将接收到的 ODUi-AIS 中的 TCM1 开销被改为 TCM1 -NORMAL状态， 以后网元 8和 9透传 ODUi-AIS,这样下游的网元 10 从网元 9接收到的 TCM1-STAT开销都显示为 TCM1-NORMAL状态， 网元 10认为 TCM1正常， 所以网元 10接收到网元 4送来的 ODUi-AIS时不会发 生保护倒换。以后网元 4发生倒换并倒换到网元 6,业务恢复正常， ODUi-AIS 消失， 在以上整个过程中子网 B中的网元 10会始终检测 TCM1 , 并会发现 TCM1始终正常， 所以网元 10会一直不倒换，这样网元 4发生倒换不会导致 网元 10倒换， 从而使得两个子网之间的保护倒换不会相互影响。
根据以上分析， 光传送网中利用现有的基于 TCM的子网保护技术可保 证两个有串联连接关系的子网的保护倒换不会互相影响。
但是， 当均具备保护倒换功能的两个子网 （或称一对子网）具有嵌套关 系时， 这两个子网的保护倒换系统也具有嵌套关系， 内嵌于另一子网中的子 网 （文中称为内嵌子网） 的保护倒换动作很可能会导致其中嵌入有该子网的 子网 （文中称为外套子网）保护倒换误触发或保护倒换超时。 文中所称的具 有嵌套关系的内嵌子网和对应的外套子网， 指该内嵌子网中的所有网元都位 于该外套子网中的工作或保护路径上 （但不同时位于工作和保护路径上） 。 一个内嵌子网对应的外套子网指其中嵌入有该内嵌子网的所有外套子网， 可 以有一个或多个， 一个外套子网对应的内嵌子网指嵌入于该外套子网中的所 有内嵌子网， 可以有一个或多个， 即子网间的嵌套可以是三个或三个以上子 网间的多层嵌套。 具有嵌套关系且具备保护倒换功能的一对子网之间可以是 直接嵌套， 也可以是间接嵌套， 所谓直接嵌套的一对子网是指该一对子网之 间不存在其他具备保护倒换功能的子网，如图 3中的子网 A和子网 B。另外， 本发明涉及的网络中， 内嵌子网或同时作为外套子网和内嵌子网的子网均为 光传送子网， 只有最外层的一个外套子网可以是非光传送子网， 或者是光传 送子网。
下面分析嵌套连接方式下两个子网的保护倒换为什么会相互影响。
图 3示出的具有嵌套关系的子网均为光传送网， 其中， 网元 1至 6组成 一个具备 1+1保护倒换功能的子网 B, 其中网元 1 , 2, 3 , 4为工作路径， 网 元 1 , 5 , 6, 4为保护路径， 图中的虚线是 TCM1 开销的传递路径， TCM1 开销在子网 B内有效， 起点为网元 1终点为网元 4, 和业务一起传送， 子网 B根据 TCM1的状态决定是否保护倒换；网元 1-10组成一个具备 1+1保护倒 换功能的子网 A, 其中网元 7 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 10为工作路径， 网元 7 , 8 , 9, 10为保护路径， 图中的虚线是 TCM2开销的传递路径， TCM2开销在子网 A 内有效， 起点为网元 7终点为网元 10, 和业务一起传送， 子网 A根据 TCM2 的状态决定是否保护倒换。子网 B嵌入在子网 A的网元 1和 4之间，是内嵌 子网， 子网 A是外套子网。 在图 3所示的环境中， 子网 A和 B必须使用不 同的 TCM开销才能保证各子网可以检测到自己子网的工作状态。
假设网元 2和网元 3 之间的光纤中断， 如图 4中的叉号所示， 网元 3会 将失效的 ODUi 信号替换为 ODUi-AIS , 其中的 TCM1-STAT 开销和 TCM2-STAT开销均处于 TCM1-AIS状态。 网元 4通过检测网元 3送来的 TCM1-STAT开销发现其处于 TCM1-AIS状态则认为业务失效， 此时网元 4 会启动保护倒换，在保护倒换没有正式生效前会透传网元 3发来的 ODUi-AIS 信号， 由于网元 4不是 TCM2的起点， 所以此 ODUi-AIS中的 TCM2-STAT 开销会被透传， 此 ODUi-AIS传送到子网 A的网元 10后， 网元 10接收到的 TCM2-START开销也显示为 TCM2-AIS状态， 此时网元 10认为业务失效， 会触发保护倒换且倒换经过网元 8和 9的保护路径上， 这样网元 A和网元 B 的保护倒换系统将基本同时启动， 相当于一点故障触发了同一条路径上的两 个不同的保护倒换系统的保护倒换动作， 这样容易导致保护倒换系统动作造 成的业务瞬断时间变长， 严重时甚至可能导致保护倒换系统倒换超时。
对于该问题， 解决方案有两种， 方案一是忽略这种两个保护系统同时保 护倒换的现象，不做任何补救措施，当嵌套现象非常严重时方案一将不可行。 方案二是如果保护倒换系统没有发生嵌套， 如内嵌子网不支持保护倒换， 则 对应的外套子网的网元可以不支持 Th设置或将 Th设置为 0。 如果保护倒换 系统发生嵌套， 在外套子网中执行保护倒换切换的网元上（如图 3中的网元 10 )设置保护倒换延迟触发时间 Th ( h=Hold off ) , 如设置为内嵌子网保护 倒换可能造成的最长业务瞬断时间。该执行保护倒换切换的网元认为持续 Th 时间以内的业务失效为正常， 不会触发保护倒换， 只有当业务失效持续时间 超过 Th后才会启动保护倒换。 方案 2虽然能保证内嵌子网内部发生故障时 保护倒换只触发一次且保护倒换时间不会超时， 但如果故障点发生在外套子 网内和内嵌子网夕卜，例如网元 4到网元 10之间的光纤连接发生中断， 由于网 元 10的 Th的存在，会导致保护倒换造成的业务瞬断时间一定大于 Th。另外， 外套子网中执行保护倒换切换的网元需要根据内嵌子网是否支持保护倒换而 对 Th做不同的设置， 会增加人工维护的工作量。 对于一个光传送子网嵌套于一非光传送子网之中的情况， 图 5给出了一 个示例。图 5中非光传送网网元 C1至 C6及 1至 8组成一个具备保护倒换功 能的非光传送子网， 光传送网网元 1至 8组成两个光传送子网， 其中由网元 1至 6组成的光传送子网具备保护倒换功能。 光传送子网和非光传送子网之 间的接口信号为以太网信号（例如 IEEE802.3定义的 10GBASE-R ) , 光传送 网内部的信号为光传送网信号（例如 OTU2e )。此网络拓朴结构实际和图 3 所 示的两个以嵌套方式连接的具备保护倒换功能的光传送子网一样， 只是图 3 中有嵌套关系的子网都是光传送子网， 属于同一层设备， 而图 5是光传送子 网嵌套于非光传送子网中， 是不同层的设备。 图 5的网络和图 3有一样的问 题， 当图 5中网元 2和 3之间的光纤中断， 内嵌的光传送网发生保护倒换， 网元 4和 C4之间会有一个以太网业务瞬断， 为了不触发以太网设备的保护 倒换， 网元 C6需要设置 Th, Th值大于光传送子网发生保护倒换时可能造成 的最长业务瞬断时间（按照光传送网的标准这个值是 50ms ) , 常见的以太网 设备会默认设置 Th为 100ms, 这样可以避免光传送网发生保护倒换时以太 网设备同时倒换。但如果非光传送网设备为 PTN设备， 其功能和传统的以太 网设备相似， 但同时具备传输设备的可靠性和保护倒换时间的要求， 其要求 的保护倒换时间和光传送网一样， 此时如果也设置 Th为光传送网的保护倒 换时间， 则和图 4类似， 当网元 4到 C4或网元 C1到网元 1出现光纤中断且 工作通道在 C1到 C4的路径上时，非光传送子网的保护倒换时间会大于 Th, 这将超过 PTN设备允许的最长保护倒换时间。另外同样会增加人工维护的工 作量。

本发明的较佳实施方式
下文中将结合附图对本发明的实施例进行详细说明。 需要说明的是， 在 不冲突的情况下， 本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互任意组合。
如前所述， 光传送网网元实现光传送网信号的处理， 光传送网信号包括
ODUi(i=0,l,2,3,4,2e,3e,flex)和 OTUk ( k=l,2,3,4,2e,3e ) 两种， 其中 ODUi用 来实现对非光传送网信号的封装和管理， OTUk 负责在光传送网网元之间传 送 ODUi。 光传送网网元对 OTUk信号的处理方法有两种， 一种处理方法是 实现非光传送网信号例如以太网、 SDH ( Synchronous Digital Hierarchy, 同步 数字体系 )信号、 光纤通道信号 （Fiber Channel )和光传送网 OTUk信号的 相互转换，另一种处理方法是实现光传送网信号 OTUk和光传送网信号 OTUk 的相互转换。
才艮据光传送网标准（ ITU-T G.709和 G.798 ) , 光传送网网元具备两种业 务失效处理方法， 一种为 ODU 层失效处理方法， 一种为 OPU ( Optical Channel Payload Unit, 光通道净荷单元）层失效处理方法。 光传送网网元的 失效处理方法会影响光传送网和非光传送网网元的保护倒换， 光传送网网元 的失效处理方法能够保证失效状态在网元间稳定地传送， 从而能够保证具备 保护倒换切换功能的网元正确检测到上游发生的业务失效状态从而触发保护 倒换。
图 6示出了现有的执行非光传送网信号和光传送网 OTUk信号的相互转 换的网元的信号处理过程。 图中， 此网元实现 n个非光传送网信号 （非光传 送网信号 1 , 非光传送网信号 2, 非光传送网信号 n )到 m个光传送网信 号 OTUk ( OTUkl,OTUk2,...， OTUkm )的相互转换， 转换过程为非光传送网 信号先转换为速率接近的 ODUi信号， 然后 ODUi信号经过 ODUi交叉矩阵 的调度，经过调度后的 n个 ODUi信号根据用户需要汇聚成 m个更高速率的 OTUk信号。
根据光传送网标准，在多个低速 ODUi和 ODUk的转换模块中包括 ODU 层失效处理装置以进行 ODU层失效处理， 方法请参照图 7, 当 ODUi交叉矩 阵输出的 ODUi在汇聚到 ODUk以前， 要先判断 ODUi是否失效， 如果失效 则插入 ODUi-AIS信号替换失效的 ODUi信号， 再进行后续处理； 同样， 在 从 ODUk解汇聚出 ODUi送入 ODU交叉矩阵以前， 也要先判断该 ODUi是 否失效，如果失效则用 ODUi-AIS信号替换失效的 ODUi信号送入 ODU交叉 矩阵。如果光传送子网中的上游网元已经插入 ODUi-AIS替换失效的 ODUi, 从 ODUk解汇聚出的 ODUi信号是 ODUi-AIS,此处的 ODU层失效检测时会 认为该 ODUi是正常的 ODUi信号并透传， 不会判断 ODU层失效而再次插 入 ODUi-AIS。
在非光传送网信号和 ODUi的转换模块中包括 OPU层失效处理装置以进 行 OPU层失效处理， 方法请参照图 8, 在从 ODUi中解映射出非光传送网信 号（从分层看， ODUi信号解映射出非光传送网信号时先解映射为 OPU层信 号 OPUi再解映射出非光传送网信号）时， 要检测 OPU层是否失效， 如果失 效则用非光传送网维护信号替换非光传送网信号。 此外， 非光传送网信号和 ODUi的转换模块也包括 ODU层失效处理装置以对 ODUi信号进行 ODU层 失效处理。
对于不同的非光传送网信号， 非光传送网维护信号有不同的定义， 光传 送网标准 G.709 中有对常见的非光传送网维护信号的定义， 例如对于 SDH ( Synchronous Digital Hierarchy, 同步数字体系 )信号， 非光传送网维护信号 为 PN-11 ;对于 10GBASE-R以太网信号（ IEEE802.3定义的万兆以太网信号）， 非光传送网维护信号为 Local Fault OrderSet。 OPU层失效处理方法的原则就 是如果检测到输入的信号失效， 则要用一种有特定信号格式的信号即定义的 非光传送网维护信号代替失效的信号继续处理， 这种有特定信号格式的信号 会被接收其的设备认为是信号失效。
图 9所示为实现光传送网信号 OTUk和光传送网信号 OTUk( k取值为 1 ,
2 , 3 , 4 , 2e,3e ) 的相互转换的网元。 图中没有非光传送网信号， 只有各种 OTUk信号， 可以视为图 6所示的网元的一部分。 同理， 在图中的多个低速 ODUi和 ODUk的转换模块中包括 ODU层失效处理装置以进行 ODU层失效 处理， 处理方法同图 9中的 ODU层失效处理装置。
实施例一
本实施例提供了一种应用于内嵌光传送子网网元中的开销修改方法， 如 图 10所示， 包括：
步骤 110 , 检测到有故障发生， 且该故障会触发该内嵌光传送子网及其 中嵌入有该内嵌光传送子网且具有保护倒换功能的外套子网保护倒换； 步骤 120 , 将要传送到下游网元的信号中会触发所述外套子网保护倒换 的开销的取值修改为不会触发所述外套子网保护倒换的取值， 且不修改会触 发该内嵌光传送子网保护倒换的开销；
步骤 130 , 所述修改持续一段时间后， 取消所述修改， 该段时间小于等 于设定的修改持续时间。
相应地，如图 11所示，本实施例提供的应用于内嵌光传送子网网元中的 开销修改装置包括：
修改控制单元 10,用于在检测到有故障发生时通知开销修改单元进行修 改， 其中， 该故障会触发该内嵌光传送子网及其中嵌入有该内嵌光传送子网 且具有保护倒换功能的外套子网保护倒换； 以及在修改持续一段时间后， 通 知开销修改单元取消修改， 该段时间小于等于设定的修改持续时间。
开销修改单元 11 , 用于在修改控制单元通知修改时， 将要传送到下游网 元的信号中会触发所述外套子网保护倒换的开销的取值修改为不会触发所述 外套子网保护倒换的取值， 且不修改会触发该内嵌光传送子网保护倒换的开 销； 以及在修改控制单元通知取消修改时， 取消所述修改。
本实施例的开销修改方法可以在网元检测到有故障发生后， 暂时屏蔽掉 其输出给下游网元的会触发外套子网保护倒换的开销信息， 使外套子网中的 网元感知不到内嵌子网保护倒换期间产生的业务瞬断， 进而可以达到内嵌子 网发生保护倒换但暂时不触发外套子网保护倒换的效果。
实施例二
本实施例基于 ODU层失效检测的开销修改方法， 应用于内嵌光传送子 网的网元中， 如图 12所示， 包括：
步骤 210, 检测到 ODU层变为失效；
此处可以釆用现有标准中的检测方法。
步骤 220, 将插入以替换失效 ODUi信号的 ODUi-AIS信号中会触发对 应外套子网保护倒换的开销的取值修改为不会触发所述外套子网保护倒换的 取值， 且不修改会触发该内嵌光传送子网保护倒换的开销；
上述会触发该内嵌光传送子网保护倒换的开销， 是分配给该内嵌光传送 子网的 TCMn-STAT开销 , 1≤n≤6；
所述外套子网中嵌入有该内嵌光传送子网且具有保护倒换功能， 该内嵌 光传送子网对应的外套子网可以有一个或多个， 其中最外层的外套子网为光 传送子网或非光传送子网， 如有其他外套子网， 所述其他外套子网均为光传 送子网；
对其中的一个外套子网：
如该外套子网为光传送子网， 所述会触发该外套子网保护倒换的开销是 分配给该外套子网的 TCMn-STAT开销；
如该外套子网为非光传送子网， 所述会触发该外套子网保护倒换的开销 是 PM-STAT开销。
按标准规定， 分配给具有嵌套关系的各个光传送子网的 TCMn-STAT开 销互不相同。
上述 TCMn-STAT和 PM-STAT开销都是 G.709标准中定义的开销， 其 长度都是 3比特， 其取值（二进制）含义在 G.709中定义如下。
表 1 TCMn-STAT的定义
Figure imgf000022_0001
表 2: PM-STAT的定义
Figure imgf000022_0002
在修改开销时，如修改 TCMn-STAT开销，修改后表示为 TCMn-STATt, 则 TCMn-STATt的取值可为 3比特的 011 , 100, 001 , 010中的一种， 这些 取值不会触发外套光传送子网保护倒换； 如修改 PM-STAT开销， 修改后表 示为 PM-STATp, 则 PM-STATp的取值可为 3比特的 000, 010, 011 , 100 中的一种，从光传送网信号解映射出非光传送网信号时 PM-STATp的这些取 值不会触发插入现有标准中定义的非光传送网维护信号 （会触发非光传送网 保护倒换， 文中称为第一非光传送网维护信号） ， 进而导致下游的非光传送 网网元保护倒换。
步骤 230, 在设定的修改持续时间内， 如果检测到 ODU层恢复正常， 执 行步骤 240, 否则， 执行步骤 250;
上述修改持续时间由内嵌子网发生保护倒换时可能引起的最长业务瞬断 时间决定， 如等于该最长业务瞬断时间。
步骤 240, 取消所述修改， 结束；
按现有标准， ODU层恢复正常后会取消 ODUi-AIS信号的插入， 用正常 的 ODUi信号进行后续处理， 此时可以同时取消对 ODUi-AIS信号的修改， 在另一实施方式中， 也可以在设定的修改持续时间到时再取消对 ODUi-AIS 信号的修改。
步骤 250,设定的修改持续时间到时 ODU层还没有恢复正常，取消所述 修改。
ODU层还没有恢复正常即 ODU层还处于失效状态， 取消对 ODUi-AIS 的修改后， 经过 ODU层失效处理后输出的是插入的未经修改的 ODUi-AIS 信号。
应当说明的是， 如果存在多层嵌套， 应用上述方法的网元可能会同时属 于多个内嵌光传送子网， 此时， 上述方法中的该内嵌光传送子网指该网元所 属的多个内嵌光传送子网中最内层的内嵌光传送子网。 例如， 光传送子网 C 嵌入在光传送子网 B中， 光传送子网 B又嵌入在光传送子网 A中， 那么， 对于光传送子网 B中不属于光传送子网 C的网元，执行上述开销修改方法时 以光传送子网 B为内嵌光传送子网，修改分配给光传送子网 A的开销， 不修 改分配给光传送子网 B的开销，修改持续时间设置为光传送子网 B发生保护 倒换时可能引起的最长业务瞬断时间。 对于光传送子网 C中的网元， 同时属 于内嵌子网 C和 B,则执行上述开销修改方法以光传送子网 C为内嵌光传送 子网， 此时修改分配给光传送子网 B和 A的开销， 不修改分配给光传送子网
C的开销， 修改持续时间设置为光传送子网 C发生保护倒换时可能引起的最 长业务瞬断时间。 对于应用上述方法的内嵌光传送子网网元， 上述方法还可以增加一个处 理， 即在设定的修改持续时间内， 如检测到所述 ODU层失效无法被该内嵌 光传送子网的保护倒换系统恢复时， 立即取消所述修改。
本实施例的开销修改方法在网元检测到 ODU层失效后， 会暂时屏蔽掉 其输出给下游网元的会触发外套子网保护倒换的开销信息， 使外套子网中的 网元感知不到内嵌子网在保护倒换期间产生的业务瞬断。
为了实现上述方法， 本实施例还提供了一种基于 ODU层失效检测的开 销修改装置 21 , 应用于内嵌光传送子网的网元中， 如图 13所示， 包括修改 控制单元 211和开销修改单元 212 , 其中：
修改控制单元 211 , 用于根据输入的 ODU层失效指示信号、用于指示开 销是否可以修改的开销指示信号及设定的修改持续时间信号， 输出修改指示 信号， 其中， 该修改指示信号在 ODU层失效指示信号指示 ODU层变为无效 时， 指示修改被开销指示信号指示为可修改的会触发对应外套子网保护倒换 的开销且不修改被开销指示信号指示为不可修改的会触发该内嵌光传送子网 保护倒换的开销， 及在修改持续一段时间后， 通知开销修改单元取消修改， 该段时间小于等于设定的修改持续时间。
开销修改单元 212, 用于根据修改指示信号的指示，将输入的 ODUi-AIS 中会触发对应外套子网保护倒换的开销的取值修改为不会触发所述外套子网 保护倒换的取值且不修改会触发该内嵌光传送子网保护倒换的开销， 然后输 出； 及根据修改指示信号的指示， 取消所述修改。
上述输入修改控制单元的开销指示信号可作为网管设置的参数， 其指示 的可修改的开销包括会触发对应外套子网保护倒换的开销， 其指示的不可修 改的开销包括会触发该内嵌光传送子网保护倒换的开销， 具体请参照步骤 220的说明， 此处不再重复。 该开销指示信号可以是一个 7比特信号， 每个 比特代表 PM-STAT和 6个 TCMn-STAT ( 1<η<6 ) 中的一个， 比特值表示该 比特代表的 PM-STAT或 TCMn-STAT开销的取值是否可以修改， 如用 0表 示可以修改， 1 表示不可以修改。 修改持续时间信号也可以作为网管设置的 参数，如可以设置为内嵌子网发生保护倒换时可能引起的最长业务瞬断时间。 在一个示例中，在 ODU层失效指示信号指示 ODU层变为失效且失效持续时 间未达到修改持续时间时， 输出上述 7比特的开销指示信号作为修改指示信 号， 在其他情况下输出全 1的 7比特信号， 其中， 比特值为 0表示该比特代 表的开销要修改，为 1表示该比特代表的开销不修改。但本发明不局限于此， 也可以用软件或者其他硬件结构来实现修改控制单元的功能。
上述修改控制单元在修改持续一段时间后，通知开销修改单元取消修改， 可以是： 所述修改控制单元在设定的修改持续时间到时， 通知开销修改单元 取消修改； 或者是， 所述修改控制单元在设定的修改持续时间到时如 ODU 层还没有恢复正常， 通知开销修改单元取消修改， 及在所述设定的修改持续 时间内， 如 ODU层恢复正常， 立即通知开销修改单元取消修改。
开销修改单元对 PM-STAT或 TCMn-STAT开销修改后的取值， 请参照 步骤 220的说明。
在本实施例的一个变例中，对于内嵌子网实际执行保护倒换切换的网元， 可以在本实施例的开销修改装置中增加一个倒换检测单元， 如增加一硬件检 测电路， 用于在 ODU层失效指示信号指示 ODU层变为失效后，检测故障是 否可以被该内嵌光传送子网的保护倒换系统恢复并通知修改控制单元， 相应 地， 该修改控制单元还用于在 ODU层失效的持续时间未达到设定的修改持 续时间， 就获知故障无法被该内嵌光传送子网的保护倒换系统恢复时， 输出 指示取消所述修改的修改指示信号。 经过以上改进后， 在内嵌子网保护倒换 失败的情况下， 可以将修改持续时间带来的外套子网的保护倒换延时降低到 最低程度。
本实施例还提供了一种内嵌光传送子网的网元， 包括本实施例提供的基 于 ODU层失效检测的开销修改装置 21和 ODU层失效处理装置 22,如图 13 所示， ODU层失效处理装置 22包括：
ODU层失效检测单元 221 , 用于根据 ODUi信号中的 ODU开销， 检测 ODU层是否失效， 并输出 ODU层失效指示信号。
选择单元 222,本实施例是一个 2选 1选择器，用于在 ODU层失效指示 信号指示 ODU层正常时， 输出 ODUi信号， 当 ODU层失效指示信号指示 ODU层失效时，输出来自开销修改装置的未经修改或修改后的 ODUi-AIS信 号。 上述 ODU层失效处理装置的结构和在网元中的位置均与现有 ODU层失 效处理装置相同， 只是原来的输入信号 ODUi-AIS变为开销修改装置输出的 未经修改或修改后的 ODUi-AIS信号。
如果该网元同时属于多个内嵌光传送子网， 修改控制单元的开销指示信 号和修改持续时间按照该网元所属的最内层内嵌光传送子网进行设置。例如， 光传送子网 C嵌套于光传送子网 B中，光传送子网 B又嵌套于光传送子网 A 中， 那么， 对于光传送子网 B中不属于光传送子网 C的网元， 按照内嵌子网 为光传送子网 B进行参数设置。对于光传送子网 C中的网元， 同时属于内嵌 子网 C和 B, 则按照内嵌子网为最内层的光传送子网 C来进行参数设置。 在 ODU层没有失效时输出正常的 ODUi信号，如果检测到 ODU层变为失效 则插入修改后的 ODUi-AIS信号， 且修改后 ODUi-AIS信号的持续时间不会 超过设定的修改持续时间， 从而暂时蔽掉其输出给下游网元的会触发外套子 网保护倒换的开销信息。
实施例三
实施例二基于 ODU层失效的开销修改方法需要用于内嵌光传送网的所 有网元， 因为如果只在一个网元如执行该内嵌光传送子网保护倒换切换的网 元上应用该方法，当上游检测出故障的网元插入 ODUi-AIS替换失效的 ODUi 后， 该网元会认为上游网元传送来的 ODUi信号是正常信号， 从而不会进行 开销修改， 这样实现起来较为麻烦。
本实施例提出一种基于 TCM层失效检测的开销修改方法， 应用于内嵌 光传送子网中执行保护倒换切换的网元， 如图 14所示， 包括：
步骤 310,根据 ODU层失效处理前的 ODUi信号检测到该内嵌光传送子 网中执行保护倒换处理时检测的 TCM层变为失效；
此处的 ODU层失效处理可以釆用现有标准中的方法，在 ODU层失效时 插入用于替换失效 ODUi信号的 ODUi-AIS信号。
每一种 TCMn-STAT开销构成一个 TCM层， l≤n≤6, TCM层变为失效 是指该 TCM层的取值会触发该内嵌光传送子网保护倒换， 例如， 检测到符 合以下条件中的一种或多种就认为该 TCM层失效：
该 TCM层的服务层变为失效；
该 TCM层变为 AIS、 连接锁定指示（LCK ) 、 连接断开指示（OCI )或 串型连接丟失（LTC )状态。
步骤 320 , 将 ODU 层失效处理后输出的正常 ODUi 信号或插入的
ODUi-AIS 信号中会触发所述外套子网保护倒换的开销的取值修改为不会触 发所述外套子网保护倒换的取值， 且不修改会触发该内嵌光传送子网保护倒 换的开销；
上述外套子网、 会触发所述外套子网保护倒换的开销、 会触发该内嵌光 传送子网保护倒换的开销， 及不会触发所述外套子网保护倒换的取值与实施 例二相同， 见步骤 220下的说明。
步骤 330,在所述设定的修改持续时间内，如果检测到该 TCM层恢复正 常， 执行步骤 340, 否则， 执行步骤 350;
上述修改持续时间由内嵌子网发生保护倒换时可能引起的最长业务瞬断 时间决定， 如等于该最长业务瞬断时间。
步骤 340, 取消所述修改， 结束。
步骤 350, 设定的修改持续时间到时， 取消所述修改， 结束。
与实施例二类似的， 如果存在多层嵌套， 应用上述方法的网元可能会同 时属于多个内嵌光传送子网， 此时， 上述方法中的该内嵌光传送子网指该网 元所属的多个内嵌光传送子网中最内层的内嵌光传送子网。
上述方法还可以增加一个处理， 即在设定的修改持续时间内， 如检测到 所述 TCM层失效无法被该内嵌光传送子网的保护倒换系统恢复时， 立即取 消所述修改。
本实施例的开销修改方法在网元检测到 ODU层失效后， 会暂时屏蔽掉 其输出给下游网元的会触发外套子网保护倒换的开销信息， 使外套子网中的 网元感知不到内嵌网元在保护倒换期间产生的业务瞬断。
为了实现上述方法， 本实施例提供了一种开销修改装置 31 , 应用于内嵌 光传送子网中执行该内嵌光传送子网保护倒换切换的网元中， 如图 15所示， 该开销修改装置 31包括：
TCM层失效检测单元 311 , 用于检测 ODU层失效处理前的 ODUi信号 中指定的 TCM层，并输出指示该 TCM层是否有效的 TCM层失效指示信号， 其中，该指定的 TCM层是被输入的 TCM层指示信号指示为该内嵌光传送子 网中执行保护倒换处理时检测的 TCM层。
修改控制单元 312, 用于根据输入的 TCM层失效指示信号、用于指示开 销是否可以修改的开销指示信号及设定的修改持续时间信号， 输出修改指示 信号， 其中， 该修改指示信号在 TCM层失效指示信号指示 TCM层变为无效 时， 指示修改被开销指示信号指示为可修改的会触发对应外套子网保护倒换 的开销且不修改被开销指示信号指示为不可修改的会触发该内嵌光传送子网 保护倒换的开销， 及在修改持续一段时间后， 通知开销修改单元取消修改， 该段时间小于等于设定的修改持续时间。
开销修改单元 313 , 用于根据修改指示信号的指示，将 ODU层失效处理 后输出的正常的 ODUi信号或插入的 ODUi-AIS信号中会触发对应外套子网 保护倒换的开销的取值修改为不会触发所述外套子网保护倒换的取值且不修 改会触发该内嵌光传送子网保护倒换的开销， 然后输出； 及根据修改指示信 号的指示， 取消所述修改。
上述执行保护倒换处理时检测的 TCM层是 6个 TCMn 中的一个， TCM 层指示信号可以是一个 6比特信号， 其中只有一个比特的比特值表示该比特 代表的 TCM层需要检测，即只检测一个 TCM层的开销，具体检测哪个 TCM 层开销可以由网管软件设置。 TCM层失效检测的方法见本实施例方法中步骤 310下的说明。
修改控制单元 312与实施例二的修改控制单元 211的结构、 开销指示信 号和修改指示信号的格式及控制逻辑可以相同， 不再赘述， 差别只是两者接 收的失效指示信号一个是指示 ODU层是否失效而另一个是指示 TCM层是否 失效。上述修改控制单元 312在修改持续一段时间后，通知开销修改单元 313 取消修改， 可以是： 修改控制单元 312在设定的修改持续时间到时， 通知开 销修改单元 313取消修改； 或者是， 修改控制单元 312在设定的修改持续时 间到时如 TCM层还没有恢复正常， 通知开销修改单元 313取消修改， 及在 所述设定的修改持续时间内， 如 TCM层恢复正常， 立即通知开销修改单元
313取消爹改。
开销修改单元 313要修改的开销与实施例二一样， 也是 PM-STAT开销 和 6个 TCMn-STAT开销中的部分开销，但所修改的信号除插入的 ODUi-AIS 外， 也可能是 ODU层失效处理后输出的正常的 ODUi信号。
本实施例的一个变例中，可以在本实施例的开销修改装置 31中增加一个 倒换检测单元， 如增加一硬件检测电路， 用于在 TCM层失效指示信号指示 TCM层变为失效后，检测故障是否可以被该内嵌光传送子网的保护倒换系统 恢复并通知修改控制单元， 相应地， 该修改控制单元 312还用于在 TCM层 失效的持续时间未达到设定的修改持续时间就获知故障无法被该内嵌光传送 子网的保护倒换系统恢复时， 输出指示取消所述修改的修改指示信号。
本实施例还提供了一种内嵌光传送子网中执行该内嵌光传送子网保护倒 换切换的网元， 包括本实施例提供的基于 TCM层失效检测的开销修改装置 31和 ODU层失效处理装置 32, 如图 15所示， 该 ODU层失效处理装置 32 包括 ODU层失效检测单元 321和选择单元 322, 用于在 ODU层正常时， 输 出正常的 ODUi信号， 在 ODU层失效时， 输出插入以替换失效的 ODUi信 号的 ODUi-AIS信号。 本实施例的 ODU层失效处理装置 32的结构、 在网元 中的位置和输入的信号均可与现有的 ODU层失效处理装置相同。 如果该网 元同时属于多个内嵌光传送子网， 修改控制单元的开销指示信号和修改持续 时间按照该网元所属的多个内嵌光传送子网中最内层的内嵌光传送子网进行 设置。
本实施例提供的内嵌光传送子网中执行该内嵌光传送子网保护倒换切换 的网元可以根据 TCM层失效检测结果， 在检测到 TCM层变为失效时修改 ODU层失效处理后输出的正常的 ODUi信号或插入的 ODUi-AIS信号中会触 发对应外套子网保护倒换的开销， 且对信号进行修改的持续时间不会超过设 定的修改持续时间， 从而暂时蔽掉该网元输出给下游网元的会触发外套子网 保护倒换的开销信息。
实施例四
本实施例提供一种防止嵌套的多个子网同时倒换的方法， 所应用的网络 包括具备保护倒换功能且直接嵌套的一对子网， 该对子网中的内嵌子网和外 套子网均为光传送子网， 图 3是此类网络的一个示例， 图 16示出了此类网络 的另一示例， 该网络也存在外套子网和内嵌子网可能同时发生保护倒换或保 护倒换超时的问题。
本实施例防止嵌套的多个子网同时倒换的方法包括：
该内嵌子网的所有网元均执行实施例二提供的基于 ODU层失效检测的 开销^ ί'爹改方法；
设置该外套子网中执行保护倒换切换的网元的保护倒换延迟触发时间小 于对应内嵌子网发生保护倒换时可能引起的最长业务瞬断时间。
至于外套子网中不属于该内嵌子网的网元， 可以基于现有标准。
上述内嵌子网可以不再嵌入有其他的光传送子网。 如果该内嵌子网中还 嵌入有其他具有保护倒换功能的光传送子网， 即该对子网组成的网络中还包 括内层外套子网 （即同时是内嵌子网和外套子网） ， 此时该外套子网中执行 保护倒换切换的网元包括执行内层外套子网保护倒换切换的网元。
釆用上述方法， 可以避免网络中多个嵌套的子网的保护倒换系统同时发 生倒换。 而当外套子网中不属于内嵌子网的网元发生故障时， 此故障会被外 套子网中执行保护倒换切换的网元检测到， 由于该网元的保护倒换延迟触发 时间小于该内嵌子网发生保护倒换时可能引起的最长业务瞬断时间， 因此在 该内嵌子网外和外套子网内发生故障时， 可以缩短现有技术将保护倒换延迟 触发时间设置为该最长业务瞬断时间而导致保护倒换造成的业务瞬断时间。 在一些示例中， 该外套子网中执行保护倒换切换的网元可以不支持设置保护 倒换延迟触发时间 （无延迟触发） ， 或将保护倒换延迟触发时间设置为 0, 该故障会立刻触发外套子网的保护倒换， 并且外套子网不用根据内嵌子网是 否存在保护倒换以及其保护倒换所造成的最长业务瞬断时间修改 Th的设置， 维护工作量将极大减轻。 在另一示例中， 也可以将保护倒换延迟触发时间设 置为小于等于 5ms的非零值， 这些示例都可以进一步避免该故障引起的保护 倒换超时。
相应地， 本实施例还提供了一种包括一对具备保护倒换功能且直接嵌套 的子网的网络， 该对子网中的内嵌子网和外套子网均为光传送子网， 其中： 该内嵌子网中的所有网元均釆用实施例二提供的内嵌光传送子网的网元, 其中具有基于 ODU层失效检测的开销修改装置； 及
该外套子网中执行保护倒换切换的网元设置的保护倒换延迟触发时间小 于对应内嵌子网发生保护倒换时可能引起的最长业务瞬断时间。
上述内嵌子网可以不再嵌入有其他的光传送子网。 如果上述内嵌子网还 嵌入有其他的光传送子网， 此时该外套子网中执行保护倒换切换的网元包括 执行内层外套子网保护倒换切换的网元。 在一个示例中， 该外套子网中执行 保护倒换切换的网元可以不支持设置保护倒换延迟触发时间， 或将保护倒换 延迟触发时间设置为 0, 或将保护倒换延迟触发时间设置为小于等于 5ms的 非零值。
在本实施例的一个示例中， 包括两个有直接嵌套关系且都具备保护功能 的光传送子网 A和光传送子网 B, 光传送子网 A中嵌入有光传送子网 B, 即 子网 B的所有网元都在子网 A的工作或保护路径上。
假定光传送子网 A使用 TCMa(l≤a≤6)作为子网保护倒换判断依据，光传 送子网 B使用 TCMb(l≤b≤6)作为子网保护倒换判断依据， 根据光传送网的 TCM实现原理， a—定不等于 b, 为了实现本发明所期望的效果， 在内嵌子 网 B中的所有网元应用实施例二的基于 ODU层失效检测的开销修改方法， 并且设置 TCMa-STAT开销为可修改的开销， TCMb-STAT开销为不可修改 的开销， 如配置开销修改指示信号中代表 TCMa-STAT开销的比特为 0, 代 表 TCMb-STAT开销的比特为 1 ,其余比特可任意设置。 TCMa-STAT开销的 修改持续时间可设置为内嵌子网 B发生保护倒换时可能造成的最长业务瞬断 时间。 外套子网 A中不属于子网 B的所有网元可以基于现有光传送网标准， 同时子网 A中执行保护倒换切换功能的网元设置 Th为 0。
完成上述设置后， 子网 B内部的某个网元检测到 ODU层失效， 按照实 施例二的基于 ODU 层失效检测的开销修改方法处理后， ODUi-AIS 的 TCMb-STAT开销取值为 TCMb-AIS, TCMa-STAT开销取值为修改后的取值 STATt, 因此子网 B能正常检测到业务失效从而触发保护倒换， 而子网 A检 测 TCMa-STAT开销取值为 STATt时会认为业务正常，所以不会发生保护倒 换， 这样即可防止子网 A和子网 B的保护倒换系统同时倒换。 如果子网 B 因为发生意外没有保护倒换成功， 从而导致业务一直中断， 由于对
TCMa-STAT 开销的修改只会持续一段时间， 这样在修改持续时间结束后， TCMa-STAT开销的取值将为 TCMa-AIS, 此时子网 A将发生保护倒换， 这 样显然会延长子网 A保护倒换造成的业务瞬断时间，但子网 B发生保护倒换 意外的几率非常低。
在一具有多层嵌套的示例中，三个都具备保护倒换功能的光传送子网 A, B, C之间有嵌套关系， 其中光传送子网 A中嵌入有光传送子网 B, 即子网 B的所有网元都在子网 A的工作或保护路径上，光传送子网 B中嵌入有光传 送子网 C, 即子网 C的所有网元都在子网 B的工作或保护路径上。 假定光传 送子网 A使用 TCMa作为子网保护倒换判断依据，光传送子网 B使用 TCMb 作为子网保护倒换判断依据，光传送子网 C使用 TCMc作为子网保护倒换判 断依据（a≠b≠c,l≤a≤6, l<b<6, l<c<6 ) , 在内嵌子网 Β和 C中的所有网元 应用实施例二的基于 ODU层失效检测的开销修改方法， 并且在子网 C中的 所有网元， 设置 TCMa-STAT 开销和 TCMb-STAT 开销为可修改的开销， TCMc-STAT开销为不可修改的开销， 修改开销的持续时间由内嵌子网 C发 生保护倒换时可能造成的最长业务瞬断时间决定。 同时， 在子网 B中不属于 子网 C的所有网元， 设置 TCMa-STAT开销为可修改的开销， TCMb-STAT 开销为不可修改的开销， 修改开销的持续时间由内嵌子网 B发生保护倒换时 可能导致的最长业务瞬断时间决定。外套子网 A中不属于子网 B的所有网元 可以基于现有光传送网标准。 另外，在执行子网 A和子网 B保护倒换切换的 网元均设置 Th为 0。
完成上述设置后，如子网 C内部的某个网元因为业务失效触发子网 C保 护倒换时， 不会导致子网 A和 B发生保护倒换， 子网 B内部不属于子网 C 的某个网元因为业务中断触发子网 B保护倒换时，不会导致子网 A发生保护 倒换。
类似的， 经过进一步引申， 本实施例可在最多 6个具备保护倒换功能的 光传送子网逐层嵌套的情况下实现保护倒换不互相影响。
实施例五
因为实施例二的开销^ ί'爹改方法和实施例三的开销 ^ί'爹改方法均可以暂时蔽 掉该网元输出给下游网元的会触发外套子网保护倒换的开销信息， 因而本实 施例基于实施例三的开销修改方法， 提出一种防止嵌套的多个子网同时倒换 的方法， 所应用的网络与实施例四相同， 可参照图 3和图 16, 包括具备保护 倒换功能且直接嵌套的一对子网， 该对子网中的内嵌子网和外套子网均为光 传送子网。
本实施例防止嵌套的多个子网同时倒换的方法包括：
该内嵌子网中执行该内嵌光传送子网保护倒换切换的网元执行实施例三 提供的基于 TCM层失效检测的开销修改方法；
设置该外套子网中执行保护倒换切换的网元的保护倒换延迟触发时间小 于对应内嵌子网发生保护倒换时可能引起的最长业务瞬断时间。
上述内嵌子网可以不再嵌入有其他的光传送子网。 如果上述内嵌子网还 嵌入有其他的光传送子网， 此时该外套子网中执行保护倒换切换的网元还包 括执行内层外套子网保护倒换切换的网元， 并且， 该内嵌子网中 （可以包括 该内嵌子网） 同时作为内嵌子网和外套子网的具有保护倒换功能的每一光传 送子网中， 执行该光传送子网保护倒换切换的网元均执行实施例三提供的基 于 TCM层失效检测的开销修改方法且该开销修改方法中的该内嵌光传送子 网指该光传送子网。
本实施例与实施例四相比， 只需在很少的网元上执行， 而实施例四需要 在更多的网元上执行， 花费的代价不一样。 但本实施例需要在检测到指定 TCM层失效后才能修改分配给外套子网的 TCMn-STAT开销，此时外套子网 中的网元可能已经检测到了短暂的 TCM-AIS状态从而触发保护倒换， 所以 此时外套子网中执行保护倒换切换的网元可设置一个短的保护倒换延迟触发 时间 Th, Th大于等于完成开销修改所需的时间且小于等于 10ms (已足够 完成修改） ， 使内嵌子网的网元完成所述修改之前不会进行保护倒换， 完成 修改所需的时间可以通过估算或测试得到， 具体的取值可以根据实际网络的 情况来设置， 如设置为 5ms。
相应地， 本实施例还提供了一种包括一对具备保护倒换功能且直接嵌套 的子网的网络， 该对子网中的内嵌子网和外套子网均为光传送子网， 其中： 该内嵌子网中执行该内嵌子网保护倒换切换的网元均釆用实施例三提供 的内嵌光传送子网的网元，其中具有基于 TCM层失效检测的开销修改装置； 及
该外套子网中执行保护倒换切换的网元设置的保护倒换延迟触发时间小 于对应内嵌子网发生保护倒换时可能引起的最长业务瞬断时间。
上述内嵌子网可以不再嵌入有其他的光传送子网。 如果上述内嵌子网还 嵌入有其他的光传送子网， 此时该外套子网中执行保护倒换切换的网元还包 括执行内层外套子网保护倒换切换的网元， 并且， 该内嵌子网中同时作为内 嵌子网和外套子网的每一光传送子网中， 执行该光传送子网保护倒换切换的 网元均釆用实施例三提供的内嵌光传送子网的网元， 其中的基于 TCM层失 效检测的开销修改装置处理时以该光传送子网为内嵌光传送子网。
本实施例在故障发生时， 与实施例四在故障发生时的处理相类似， 只是 本实施例是在该外套子网中执行该外套子网保护倒换切换的网元进行 TCM 层失效检测， 检测到失效后的开销修改和取消修改的处理都是类似的， 可以 参照实施例四的示例。 本实施例也可以避免网络中多个嵌套的子网的保护倒 换系统同时发生倒换， 同时缩短现有技术将保护倒换延迟触发时间设置为该 最长业务瞬断时间而导致保护倒换造成的业务瞬断时间。 在一示例中， 设置 的保护倒换延迟触发时间大于等于完成开销修改所需的时间且小于等于 10ms, 可以避免故障引起的保护倒换超时。
实施例六
如前所述， 一对具有嵌套关系且具备保护倒换功能的子网中， 如果外套 子网是非传送子网， 执行从光传送网信号解映射出非光传送网信号处理的网 元需要进行 OPU层检测， 如果检测到 OPU层失效， 会插入第一非光传送网 维护信号 （即现有标准中定义的光传送网维护信号）来替换光传送网信号传 送到下游网元。内嵌子网釆用于本发明实施例二和三提供的开销修改方法后， 在检测到故障会触发对应外套子网发生保护倒换时， 会修改 PM-STAT开销 的取值为 PM-STATp, 为了避免外套子网发生保护倒换， 此时不能立即插入 第一非光传送网维护信号， 因而本实施例定义了一种新的不会触发非光传送 网网元保护倒换的光传送网维护信号， 称为第二非光传送网维护信号， 在检 测到 PM-STAT开销的取值为修改后的 PM-STATp后， 产生该第二非光传送 网维护信号来替换解映射出的非光传送网信号传送到下游网元。 非光传送网 网元收到该第二非光传送网维护信号后， 会将其识别为正常的非光传送网信 号， 不会进行保护倒换。
本实施例提供了一种光传送网信号到非光传送网信号的转换方法， 应用 于执行从光传送网信号解映射出非光传送网信号处理的网元中， 该网元所在 网络包括具有直接嵌套关系的内嵌光传送子网和外套非光传送子网， 该转换 方法如图 17所示， 包括：
步骤 610,检测 ODUi信号中 PM-STAT开销的取值是否为该内嵌光传送 子网网元对 PM-STAT开销修改后的不会触发该外套非光传送子网保护倒换 的取值， 如果是， 执行步骤 620, 否则， 执行步骤 630;
所述 PM-STAT开销修改后的不会触发对应外套子网保护倒换的取值， 如可以为 3比特的 000, 010, 011 , 100中的一种。
步骤 620, 输出插入的第二非光传送网维护信号以替换从光传送网信号 解映射出的非光传送网信号；
上述第二非光传送网维护信号为新定义的不会触发非光传送网网元保护 倒换的非光传送网维护信号，也即检测到 PM-STAT开销的取值为 PM-STATp 后插入的， 非光传送网网元会将其识别为一个正常信号， 不会触发非光传送 网网元保护倒换的信号。
例 ^口， 对于以太网或 Fibre Channel 一类的有 PCS ( hysical coding sublayer,物理编码子层）层编码的信号，可用没有数据帧且全是空闲（ IDLE ) 帧的信号作为第二非光传送网维护信号；对于 SDH信号，可用净荷区全部为 固定值且再生段和复用段开销正常的信号作为第二非光传送网维护信号。 对 于第二非光传送网维护信号具体格式的定义不限于此， 只要其能导致非光传 送网不会触发保护倒换即可， 本领域技术人员可根据此条件修改对第二非光 传送网维护信号具体格式的定义。
步骤 630, 根据 OPU层是否失效， 输出从光传送网信号解映射出的非光 传送网信号或插入的第一非光传送网维护信号。
PM-STAT 开销的取值非 PM-STATp 时的处理与现有标准一致， 如果 OPU层失效，会插入第一非光传送网维护信号以替换从光传送网信号解映射 出的非光传送网信号，作为网元的输出信号， 否则对 OPU做正常处理， 用从 光传送网信号解映射出的非光传送网信号作为网元的输出信号。
在转换过程中上述的检测和处理会不断反复进行。
本实施例的转换方法与实施例二或实施例三的开销修改方法结合， 在内 嵌子网的网元检测到故障会触发对应外套子网发生保护倒换且对应外套子网 包括非光传送子网时， 会修改 PM-STAT的取值， 而执行从光传送网信号解 映射出非光传送网信号处理的网元（可以在内嵌子网上， 也可以只在外套子 网上）检测到 PM-STAT为修改后的取值后， 会插入第二非光传送网维护信 号以避免外套非光传送子网保护倒换， 因为 PM-STAT的修改只持续一段时 间， 因而可以达到内嵌子网网元发生保护倒换但暂时不触发外套子网网元保 护倒换的效果。
本实施例提供的光传送网信号到非光传送网信号的转换装置， 应用于执 行从光传送网信号解映射出非光传送网信号处理的网元中， 该网元所在网络 包括具有直接嵌套关系的内嵌光传送子网和外套非光传送子网， 该转换装置 如图 18所示， 包括：
ODUi解映射单元 61 , 用于从 ODUi中解映射出非光传送网信号。 可以 釆用现有的 ODUi解映射单元。
OPU层失效检测单元 62,用于根据 ODUi信号的 ODU和 OPU层开销， 判断 PM-STAT开销的取值是否等于 STATp, 及判断 OPU层是否失效， 根 据检测结果输出选择控制信号。 STATp的含义同上文， 对 OPU层失效的判 断可釆用现有标准中的方法。
选择单元 63 , 如使用 3选 1选择器， 用于根据选择控制信号， 从输入的 非光传送网信号、 第一非光传送网维护信号和第二非光传送网维护信号中选 择一个输出。
其中， OPU层失效检测单元按照以下方式输出相应的选择控制信号： 检测到 ODUi信号中的 PM-STAT开销取值等于 STATp时，输出用于选 择第二非光传送网维护信号的选择控制信号； 检测到 PM-STAT开销取值不等于 STATp且 OPU层失效时， 输出用于 选择第一非光传送网维护信号的选择控制信号； 检测到 PM-STAT开销取值不等于 STATp且 OPU层正常时， 输出用于 选择非光传送网信号的选择控制信号。 本实施例还提供了一种执行从光传送网信号解映射出非光传送网信号处 理的网元， 其中包括本实施例的上述转换装置
实施例七
本实施例应用于的网络包括具备保护倒换功能且具有直接嵌套关系的一 对子网， 其中的内嵌子网是光传送网， 而外套子网是非光传送网。 图 5是此 类网络的一个示例， 图 19示出了此类网络的另一示例，其中的子网 1和子网 2 均具备保护倒换功能， 该网络也存在外套子网和内嵌子网可能同时发生保 护倒换或保护倒换超时的问题。
本实施例防止嵌套的多个子网同时倒换的方法在实施例四或实施例五提 供的防止嵌套的多个子网同时倒换的方法的基础上， 将其中的外套子网由光 传送子网改为非光传送子网， 并增加以下特征：
执行从光传送网信号中解映射出非光传送网信号处理的网元执行实施例 六提供的光传送网信号到非光传送网信号的转换方法。
例五。
相应地， 本实施例的包括一对具备保护倒换功能且直接嵌套的光传送子 网的网络， 在实施例四或实施例五提供的网络的基础上， 将其中的外套子网 由光传送子网改为非光传送子网， 并增加以下特征：
执行从光传送网信号中解映射出非光传送网信号的网元釆用实施例六提 供的执行从光传送网信号中解映射出非光传送网信号处理的网元。
实施例五。 相对于实施例四和实施例五应用的网络， 本实施例的不同在于外套子网 为非光传送网， 因而需要在执行从光传送网信号中解映射出非光传送网信号 的网元上增加实施例六提供的光传送网信号到非光传送网信号的转换处理， 从而在开销的修改持续时间内， 不向下游的非光传送网网元传送第一非光传 送网维护信号， 避免光传送网和非光传送网同时倒换， 同时在内嵌子网外外 套子网内发生故障时， 可避免非光传送网保护倒换延时超时。
在本实施例的一个示例中， 包括两个有直接嵌套关系且都具备保护功能 的子网， 内嵌子网 B为光传送子网，使用 TCMb(l≤b≤6)作为子网保护倒换判 断依据， 外套子网 A为非光传送子网， 其保护倒换条件和非光传送子网处理 的非光传送信号类型相关， 本发明并不关心非光传送子网实际的保护倒换条 件。 为了实现本发明所期望的效果， 内嵌子网 B中的所有网元应用本实施例 二的开销修改方法， 设置 PM-STAT开销为可修改的开销， TCMb-STAT开 销为不可修改的开销， 如设置开销修改指示信号中代表 PM-STAT开销的比 特为 0, 代表 TCMb-STAT开销的比特为 1 , 其余比特可任意设置。 同时设置 PM-STAT开销的修改持续时间为内嵌子网 B发生保护倒换时可能造成的最 长业务瞬断时间。 外套子网 A中由于没有光传送网网元， 所以其没有 ODU 层处理。 同时， 网络中执行从光传送网信号中解映射出非光传送网信号处理 的网元应用实施例六的转换方法， 子网 A 中执行保护倒换切换的网元设置 Th为 0。
完成以上设置后， 子网 B内部的某个网元发生失效后， 该网元按照实施 例二的开销修改方法处理后， TCMb-STAT的取值为 TCMb-AIS, PM-STAT 的取值为 STATp, TCMb-STAT的取值为 TCMb-AIS可保证子网 B能正常保 护倒换， PM-STAT的取值为 STATp将触发网络中执行从光传送网信号中解 映射出非光传送网信号处理的网元输出第二非光传送网维护信号， 而子网 A 检测到第二非光传送网维护信号时认为业务正常， 所以不会发生保护倒换， 这样即可实现防止子网 A和子网 B同时保护倒换。 如果子网 B因为发生意 外没有保护倒换成功， 从而导致业务一直中断， 由于对 PM-STAT的修改只 会持续一段时间， 这样在修改持续时间结束后 PM-STAT的取值为 PM-AIS , 此时子网 A将收到第一非光传送网维护信号并认为业务失效从而发生保护倒 换， 这样虽然会延长子网 A保护倒换造成的业务瞬断时间，但子网 B发生保 护倒换意外的几率非常低。 另外， 当子网 A中不属于子网 B的网元发生故障 时，此故障会导致子网 A检测到第一非光传送网维护信号， 又由于子网 A中 执行保护倒换切换的网元已设置 Th为 0, 所以会立刻触发子网 A的保护倒 换。
类似的， 环境 2还可以进一步引伸， 子网 A为具备保护倒换功能的非光 传送子网， 子网 B、 C为光传送子网， 子网 B内嵌在子网 A中， 子网 C内嵌 在子网 B中， 子网 B中只有子网 C具备保护倒换功能， 子网 B中不属于子 网 C的部分不具备保护倒换功能， 也即子网 C和子网 A是本发明定义的直 接嵌套且具备保护倒换功能的一对子网。子网 C使用 TCMc(l≤c≤6)作为子网 保护倒换判断依据， 此时需要在子网 C中的所有网元应用实施例二的开销修 改方法， 网络中执行从光传送网信号中解映射出非光传送网信号处理的网元 应用实施例六的转换方法， 对于子网 C中的所有网元设置 PM-STAT开销被 修改一段时间， TCMc-STAT开销被设置为不修改， 另外子网 A中执行保护 倒换切换的网元可设置 Th为 0, 当以上要求都具备后， 子网 C发生保护倒 换时不会导致子网 A同时发生保护倒换。 同时子网 C外和子网 A内发生故 障时， 子网 A不会发生保护倒换延迟超时。
上述各实施例的开销修改方法和转换方法不会影响网络中没有应用上述 实施例的网元的正常工作。
下面结合附图对本发明的应用示例作进一步的详细描述， 下面仅按照在 内嵌光传送子网中的所有网元上釆用实施例二提供的开销修改装置来说明， 在内嵌光传送子网中执行保护倒换切换的网元上釆用实施例三提供的开销修 改装置是相似的。
应用示例一
图 20为此应用示例对应的网络结构。在此应用示例中，所有子网都是光 传送子网， 传送的业务都是 OTU2业务， 网元 1至 6为子网 B的网元， 网元 1至 10为子网 A的网元， 子网 B嵌入于子网 A中， 子网 A使用 TCM2作为 保护倒换判断依据，子网 B使用 TCM1作为保护倒换判断依据，子网 B中的 网元 1至 6应用实施例二的开销修改装置， 并且通过网管设置开销指示信号 中代表 TCM1的比特为 1表示不可修改，代表 TCM2的比特为 0表示可修改， 其余比特可以任意设置， 设置修改持续时间为 50ms, 其中 50ms为子网 B发 生保护倒换可能引起的最长业务瞬断时间， 以上设置可以在设置子网 B的保 护倒换功能时完成。 子网 A中网元 4和 10是执行保护倒换切换的网元， 对 以上两个网元设置保护倒换延迟触发时间为 0。
当网元 2到网元 3的光纤中断后， 网元 3中的开销修改装置将使得网元 3输出最多持续 50ms的修改过开销的 ODU2-AIS,其中 TCM1-STAT开销的 取值为 TCM1-AIS , TCM2-STAT 的取值为 STATt , 以上修改过开销的 ODU2-AIS传到网元 4后， 网元 4根据 TCM1-AIS可以正常倒换， 由于网元 4是 TCM1的终点， 所以网元 4输出的 ODU2-AIS中的 TCM1-STAT开销取 值为 TCM1-LTC, 其中 LTC的取值为 000, OTN标准规定位于 TCM终点的 网元需要将 TCM-STAT值修改为 TCM-LTC, 表示此 TCM为空闲， 可以被 其他网元作为 TCM的起点。同时由于网元 4始终不是 TCM2的起点或终点， 所以透传 TCM2开销， 所以从光纤中断后到网元 4发生保护倒换前网元 10 收到的 ODU2-AIS中的 TCM2-STAT开销的取值一直为 STATt,此时网元 10 认为业务正常从而不会发生保护倒换。 假设网元 4检测到网元 2和 3之间有 故障后在 t时间内切换为使用网元 5和网元 6提供的业务（t<50ms ) , 则光 纤中断 t时间后网元 4将输出正常的 OTU2信号，此时网元 10也收到正常的 OTU2信号， 这样网元 10仍旧不会发生保护倒换， 从而保证以上过程中只有 网元 4发生保护倒换。图 21为网元 3检测到故障到网元 4发生保护倒换前网 元 3、 4和 10的 TCM开销状态。
应用示例二
图 22为此应用示例对应的网络结构。在此应用示例中，非光传送网网元 C1至 C6组成一个具备保护倒换功能的非光传送子网， 光传送网网元 1至 8 组成一个光传送子网， 其中由网元 1至 6组成的光传送子网具备保护倒换功 能， 光传送子网和非光传送子网之间的接口信号为以太网信号 10GBAE-R, 光传送网网元将 10GBASE-R映射到 OTU2e, 并将 OTU2e作为光传送网内 部的信号格式在光传送网的网元之间传送。 为了实现本发明的目的， 光传送 子网中的网元 1至 6应用实施例二的开销修改装置， 并且设置开销修改指示 信号中代表 TCM1的比特为 1表示不可修改， 代表 PM的比特为 0表示可修 改， 其余比特可以任意设置， 设置修改持续时间为 50ms, 其中 50ms为网元 1-6 组成的子网发生保护倒换可能引起的最长业务瞬断时间， 以上设置可以 在设置网元 1至 6的保护功能时完成设置。 同时， 执行光传送网信号和非光 传送网信号互相转换的网元 1和 4应用实施例六的转换装置， 另外网元 4和 C6是执行保护倒换切换的网元， 设置保护倒换延迟触发时间为 0。
当网元 2到网元 3的光纤中断后，如图 23所示， 网元 3中的开销^ ί'爹改装 置将使得网元 3 输出最多持续 50ms 的修改过开销的 ODU2e-AIS , 其中 TCM1 -STAT开销的取值为 TCM1-AIS, PM-STAT开销的取值为 STATp, 网 元 4接收到上述 ODU2e-AIS后， 根据 TCM1-AIS可以正常倒换， 在网元 3 检测到故障到网元 4 发生倒换以前， 网元 4 中的转换装置将始终检测到 ODU2e-AIS的 PM-STAT开销的取值为 STATp,此时将一直输出第二以太网 维护信号， 对于 10GBASE-R以太网， 该第二以太网维护信号为没有数据帧 且全是空闲帧的 10GBASE-R格式的信号， C4和 C6也将一直收到第二以太 网维护信号， 由于位于 C6上用于实现保护倒换功能的业务失效检测电路认 为此信号为正常信号， 所以 C6不会发生保护倒换， 4艮设网元 4的保护倒换 在 t时间内完成（t<50ms ) , 则网元 2到网元 3的光纤中断 t时间后网元 4 将输出正常的 10GBASR-R 信号， 此时网元 C4 和 C6 也收到正常的 10GBASE-R信号， 这样网元 C6仍旧不会发生倒换， 从而保证以上过程中只 有网元 4发生保护倒换。图 23为网元 3检测到故障到网元 4发生保护倒换前 网元 3 , 4, C4 , C6的状态。
在上述实现环境中， 如果按照现有技术实现， 为了避免光传送子网和非 光传送子网同时保护倒换，需要设置网元 C6的保护倒换延迟触发时间 Th大 于光传送子网保护倒换造成业务瞬断的时间， 才能防止由网元 1-6组成的子 网发生保护倒换时网元 C6不发生保护倒换， 光传送子网保护倒换造成业务 瞬断的时间一般为 50ms, 为了留有余量， 网元 C3和 C6的 Th—般设置为 lOOmSo 如果网元 C1和网元 1之间的光纤中断， 如图 24所示， 此时网元 1 检测到 10GBASE-R失效后将用第一以太网维护信号替换失效的信号继续处 理，根据 G.709标准，对于 10GBASE-R以太网维护信号为 Local Fault OrderSet, 网元 1将输出正常的 OTU2e信号只是 OPU2e中的净荷为 Local Fault OrderSet, 同时网元 4检测不到 TCM1层失效所以不会触发保护倒换， 这样网元 4将输 出 Local Fault OrderSet, 网元 C4和 C6都将收到 Local Fault OrderSet, 网元 C6认为 Local Fault OrderSet代表以太网业务失效， 但由于设置了 Th, 所以 检测到 Local Fault OrderSet持续 Th时间后才会触发保护倒换， 这样网元 C6 的业务需要 100ms加业务切换时间才能恢复正常。 如果按照本发明上述实施 例七实现， 由于网元 1 至 6 没有检测到 ODU 层失效， 所以不会插入 ODU2e-AIS或修改过开销的 ODU2e-AIS, 也不会触发保护倒换， 这样釆用 上述实施例的开销修改装置后会和符合光传送网标准的相应装置得到同样的 处理结果， 网元 C4和 C6会在网元 C3和网元 1之间的光纤中断后立刻检测 到 Local Fault OrderSet, 由于 C3和 C6的 Th已经设置为 0, 所以网元 C6检 测到 Local Fault OrderSet之后会立刻发生保护倒换， 这样业务中断时间为上 述切换业务时间。 使用本发明可实现只有应该发生保护倒换的子网发生保护 倒换， 其他不应该发生保护倒换的子网不会发生倒换。 在所有子网的保护倒 换系统都正常工作且出现任意单点故障时， 具备保护倒换功能的子网的保护 倒换延时会缩短。
本领域普通技术人员可以理解上述方法中的全部或部分步骤可通过程序 来指令相关硬件完成， 所述程序可以存储于计算机可读存储介质中， 如只读 存储器、 磁盘或光盘等。 可选地， 上述实施例的全部或部分步骤也可以使用 一个或多个集成电路来实现， 相应地， 上述实施例中的各模块 /单元可以釆用 硬件的形式实现， 也可以釆用软件功能模块的形式实现。 本发明不限制于任 何特定形式的硬件和软件的结合。
以上所述仅为本发明的优选实施例而已， 并不用于限制本发明， 对于本 领域的技术人员来说， 本发明可以有各种更改和变化。 凡在本发明的精神和 原则之内， 所作的任何修改、 等同替换、 改进等， 均应包含在本发明的保护 范围之内。
工业实用性
上述方案， 在多个具备保护功能的子网之间有嵌套关系时， 可实现只有 应该发生保护倒换的子网发生保护倒换， 其他不应该发生保护倒换的子网不 会发生倒换， 且保护倒换延迟触发时间 Th可以设置得很短， 如为 0或小于 10ms的非零值，在所有子网的保护倒换系统都正常工作且出现任意单点故障 时， 具备保护倒换功能的子网都不会出现保护倒换超时现象。 并且， Th可以 统一配置， 减少了配置的工作量。
