TRANSMISSION APPARATUS, TRANSMISSION CONTROLLING METHOD, AND OSC PROCESSING APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To ensure flexibility in the packaging of a transmission apparatus providing both functions of the MSPP apparatus and the function of the WDM apparatus in a unified manner.SOLUTION: An integrated transmission apparatus 16 includes a plurality of OSC processing units 32 for processing OSC signals contained in a WDM signal received from a WDM network 10 and a switching unit 30 for performing the path control of SDH frames. An OSC processing unit 32 transmits the SDH frame, containing wavelength information indicated by the OSC signals, to the switching unit 30. Another OSC processing unit 32 acquires the SDH frame, containing wavelength information, from the switching unit 30 and sets an OSC signal which is to be appended to the WDM signal to be transmitted, on the basis of the wavelength information.
