| 20090269060 | Providing Wavelength Connectivity Information To A Network - In particular embodiments, providing wavelength connectivity information to a network includes establishing wavelength connectivity information for a network node of the network. The network node comprises link pairs, where a link pair has an input link and an output link. The wavelength connectivity information describes a set of available wavelengths between an input link and an output link. The wavelength connectivity information is inserted into an advertisement, and the advertisement is sent to at least a subset of the network nodes of the network in real time. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20090269061 | Providing Signal Reachability Information To A Network - In particular embodiments, providing signal reachability information to a network includes establishing signal reachability information at a network node of the network. The signal reachability information describes attributes that affect reachability of an optical signal. The signal reachability information is inserted into an advertisement, and the advertisement is sent to network nodes of the network. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20090269065 | Setting Up A Circuit In A Network - In particular embodiments, setting up a circuit in a network includes establishing by control plane logic that planning pre-conditions for planning a circuit have been satisfied, and initiating the planning of the circuit. The control plane logic establishes that reservation pre-conditions for reservation of a resources for the circuit have been satisfied and initiates the reservation of the resources for the circuit. The control plane logic establishes that activation pre-conditions for activation of the circuit have been satisfied and initiates the activation of the circuit. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20090279544 | Provisioning Point-To-Multipoint Paths - Establishing a point-to-multipoint path includes establishing a first label switched path from a source to a first destination, where the first label switched path is represented by a first label set comprising first node-label pairs. A second label switched path is established from the source to a second destination, where the second label switched path is represented by a second label set comprising second node-label pairs. One or more of the second node-label pairs are equivalent to one or more of the first node-label pairs. The first label set and the second label set are combined to establish the point-to-multicast path. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20100054153 | Communicating Information Between Core And Edge Network Elements - In particular embodiments, a network element filters information sent to a neighboring network element. In the embodiments, the core network element may determine whether the neighboring network element is an edge network element or a core network element. If the neighboring network element is an edge network element, the core network element may set a filter, remove traffic engineering information according to the filter, and send the remaining information to the neighboring network element. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100104281 | Selecting Regeneration Nodes During Path Computation - According to one embodiment, regeneration information indicating the optical reachability of a set of regeneration nodes is managed. Candidate paths from a source node to a destination node are calculated according to the regeneration information. The destination node is optically reachable from the source node along a candidate path. At least one candidate path is selected from the candidate paths. | 04-29-2010 |
