Protection path determination method and device based on resilient optical network

摘要

A protection path determination method and apparatus based on an elastic optical network are provided. The method includes: searching a virtual working topology for a virtual working link satisfying a condition on receipt of a routing request of a target service; updating a residual bandwidth of the virtual working link if the virtual working link is found; otherwise, creating a working link for the target service and creating a virtual working link in the virtual working topology; searching a virtual protection topology for a virtual protection link satisfying a condition according to a shared path protection mechanism; updating a residual bandwidth of the virtual protection link if the virtual protection link is found; otherwise, creating a protection link for the target service according to the shared path protection mechanism and creating a virtual protection link in the virtual protection topology.
