TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK CONTROL METHOD AND NETWORK WITH SAID SYSTEM

摘要

A control method or protocol for the control scheme of a connection oriented network such as the automatically switched transport networks (ASTN G.807). Such a protocol provides a set of control functions with the purpose of setting and releasing connections through the transport network. Differently from protocols based on Link State Packet such as ATM, PNNI or MPLS, this protocol is based on a fully shared network database where each node keeps only its own information. This greatly reduces the required computations imposed on the single node.
