Definitions
- the present invention relates to a communication system, a communication device, and a protection method.
- a ring network in which a plurality of communication devices are connected in a ring shape is widely adopted as a configuration for providing a communication path with redundancy in order to achieve high network reliability.
- a method of logically disconnecting a single port on the ring network (hereinafter referred to as blocking) is usually used.
- blocking a method of logically disconnecting a single port on the ring network
- communication is possible by switching the blocked port from the port that was previously set as a blocked port to the failed port in order to prevent the communication path from being divided.
- RPL Protection Link Owner
- RPL owner By blocking one port of Protection Link Owner (hereinafter referred to as RPL owner), the link on the blocked port side is logically disconnected to prevent the occurrence of a normal loop.
- R-APS Ring-Automatic Protection Switching
- the path switching is performed by releasing the blockage of one of the blocked ports.

Therefore, in a multi-ring network, one major ring and one or more sub-rings are set for a plurality of ring networks connected by a shared link. In the major ring and sub ring, protection is performed independently for failures other than shared links, and when a failure occurs in the own ring, the blocked port in the own ring is released.

However, since no failure has occurred in the sub-ring, the blocked port in the sub-ring is not released. For this reason, when multiple failures including shared links occur in the major ring, the major ring and sub ring are protected independently, even though a physical detour exists. In the sub-ring, there is a problem that the protection does not operate, the network is divided, and a node that cannot communicate is generated.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object of the present invention is to obtain a communication system, a communication device, and a protection method capable of continuing communication when a multiple failure including a shared link occurs.
- the present invention includes two or more ring networks in which a plurality of communication devices are connected in a ring shape, and a single port is blocked as a blocked port for each ring network.
- ring protection is performed to switch the blocked port to the failure port
- one of the ring networks is a major ring that detects a failure of a shared link that is a transmission path shared between the ring networks
- Each of the ring networks in the ring network A failure monitoring unit that detects a failure and detects a failure of the shared link; a switching processing unit that switches between measuring and sub-ring based on a detection result of the failure by the failure monitoring unit; and the switching processing unit And a ring processing unit for notifying the ring network of

When the R-APS frame is received (step S11, Yes), the ring ID (Ring ID in FIG. 4) in the received R-APS frame is determined by the own node based on the information managed by the own node information management unit 23. It is determined whether or not it matches the ring ID to which it belongs (step S12).

A normal ERP process is performed based on the input R-APS frame (step S13). At this time, if the ring network to which the node belongs is changed to the major ring or the sub ring based on the major sub identification information of the R-APS frame, this change is reflected.

It is determined whether or not (Ring ID) matches the ring ID to which the own node belongs (step S61). If it matches the ring ID to which the own node belongs (step S61, Yes), the frame identifying unit 24 outputs the R-APS frame that matches the ring ID to which the own node belongs to the ERP processing unit 25.
- a normal ERP process is performed based on the input R-APS frame (step S62). At this time, if the ring network to which the node belongs is changed to the major ring or the sub ring based on the major sub identification information of the R-APS frame, this change is reflected.
- the blocking port of the own node is not released.
- the blocking port of the node is blocked when an R-APS frame for detecting a shared link failure is received. To release.
- the frame identification unit 24 does not output to the ERP processing unit 25, but outputs the other (received) If the ERP port (port connected to the link constituting the ERP ring) on the non-port side is a blocked port, the frame is terminated (discarded), and if it is not a blocked port, it is transferred to the other port (step S63). At this time, if there is an FDB flush instruction, the FDB is flushed.
