Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for determining connection information for terminations and ports in a network. In accordance with an embodiment, to determine connection information for a first port that includes a first set of terminations and for a second port that includes a second set of terminations, information, such as path label information, bandwidth information, and traffic description information, for the first and second set of terminations may be determined. Based on a comparison of such information, it may be determined whether the first port is connected to the second port.
Claims20
A method for determining connection information for a first port and a second port in a network, the first port including a first set of terminations and the second port including a second set of terminations, the method comprising:
- determining information about the first and second set of terminations;
- comparing the information about the first set of terminations with the information about the second set of terminations;
- and
- determining whether the first port is connected to the second port based on the comparison.
A system for determining connection information for a first port and a second port in a network, the first port including a first set of terminations and the second port including a second set of terminations, comprising:
- a memory including a program that
- determines information about the first and second set of terminations,
- compares the information about the first set of terminations with the information about the second set of terminations, and
- determines whether the first port is connected to the second port based on the comparison;
- and
- a processor that runs the program.
A computer-readable medium containing instructions for causing a computer to perform a method for determining connection information for a first port and a second port in a network, the first port including a first set of terminations and the second port including a second set of terminations, the method comprising:
- determining information about the first and second set of terminations;
- comparing the information about the first set of terminations with the information about the second set of terminations;
- and
- determining whether the first port is connected to the second port based on the comparison.
