Abstract:

Issue of automatic channel routing in transport network under multi-vendor environment was analyzed for introduction of concise and effective design of adapter based on application framework pattern. The framework provides skeleton of the routing algorithm, whereas individual adapters focus on implementing key operations that are specific to different equipment types and associated management interfaces. A correlative channel routing algorithm within sub-network was discussed which could choose appropriate routes effectively according to the resources available in the network and rules defined by the management interfaces. Automatic channel routing functionality in network management system was implemented by leveraging the above-mentioned design and algorithm.
