US Patent:

62330756, May 15, 2001

Filed:

Dec 29, 1999

Appl. No.:

9/473595

Inventors:

Georgios Ellinas - Long Island City NY
Richard Graveman - Morristown NJ
Clyde Monma - Bridgewater NJ

Assignee:

Telcordia Technologies, Inc. - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

H04J 1402

US Classification:

359124

Abstract:

An optical signaling header technique applicable to optical networks wherein packet routing information is embedded in the same channel or wavelength as the data payload so that both the header and data payload propagate through network elements with the same path and the associated delays. The technique effects survivability and security of the optical networks by encompassing conventional electronic security with an optical security layer by generating replicated versions of the input data payload at the input node, and the transmission of each of the replicated versions over a corresponding one of the plurality of links. Moreover, each of the links is composed of multiple wavelengths to propagate optical signals or optical packets, and each of the replicated versions of the data payload may be propagated over a selected one of the wavelengths in each corresponding one of the plurality of links.
