OPTICAL PACKET SENDING METHOD AND DEVICE, PROCESSING METHOD AND OPTICAL SWITCHING DEVICE

摘要

Provided are an optical packet sending method and device, a processing method and an optical switching device. The sending device comprises: a processor for obtaining a first optical packet load and/or a third optical label, and obtaining a second optical label and a second optical packet load corresponding to the second optical label; and an outputter for sending the third optical label and/or the first optical packet load obtained by the processor to the optical switching device within a protection duration between sending the second optical label and sending the second optical packet load, so as to facilitate the optical switching device in conducting exchange processing on a third optical packet load corresponding to the third optical label according to the third optical label, and/or facilitate the optical switching device in conducting exchange processing on the first optical label load according to the first optical label corresponding to the first optical packet load. The technical solution provided in the embodiments of the present invention is used for realizing increasing the utilization rate of a transmission link for optical labels and optical packet loads.
