Abstract
A system for mapping a multilayer network having a server layer and a client layer is provided. The system includes a framework configured for comparing information obtained from a first traffic counter of a client port to information obtained from a second traffic counter of a server port to thereby determine if the client port and the server port are linked.
Claims6
A system for managing a communication failure in a multi-layer communication network having an optical layer and an internet protocol (IP) layer, the system comprising a controller configured to execute instructions for:
- (a) analyzing an impact of a communication failure affecting multiple paths in the optical layer on a network state of the multi-layer communication network, said communication failure resulting in communication failure between nodes of the IP layer of the multi-layer communication network and said network state includes the current traffic conditions of the IP layer;
- (b) identifying a communication restoration paths for each of said affected multiple paths in said optical layer capable of restoring communication between said nodes of said IP layer;
- (c) applying a restoration process based on the network state of the multi-layer communication network to selectively establish each of the identified communication restoration paths following said communication failure;
- and
- wherein said restoration process sets an order to the identified communication restoration paths for restoring each of said affected multiple paths.
