Patent ID: 7372870

Claim:
An Ethernet transmission apparatus having a quick protective and fair attribute, including a sorter for analyzing Ethernet frame heads and the Ethernet incoming rates for the incoming Ethernet transactions and then sorting the Ethernet transactions to output QoS Ethernet transactions; and a MPLS processing module, including sequentially connected VC-tag packaging unit, multiplexing unit, tag managing unit and a scheduler, wherein, the VC-tag packaging unit is connected with said sorter for packaging the Ethernet transactions of different QoS and labeling different tags to the Ethernet transactions of different QoS to form PW; the multiplexing unit multiplexing the PWs of identical starting points and destination in a way of a tag stack through adding outer MPLS tunnel tags, and forming tunnel LSP after the multiplexing; the tag managing unit including a repeater and a tag exchanging table, the repeater repeats the tags according to the information in the tag exchanging table which is used for identifying two labeled exchanging paths, i.e. an active LSP and a protective LSP; a scheduler schedules the incoming data to ensure the QoS of the transaction, characterized in that, first, said MPLS processing module further includes sequentially connected MPLS protecting unit, MPLS signaling unit and a fairness algorithm unit, wherein the MPLS signaling unit being used to set up the tag exchanging table identifying the active LSP and the protective LSP and controlling the operation of the repeater, extending RSVP-TE signaling, forwarding fairness message and protective message; MPLS protecting unit being used to update the tag exchanging table when the active LSP being in error and to adopt a switching-over action to switch-over into the protective LSP; the fairness algorithm unit being used to operate the fairness algorithm to indicate the allotted bandwidth of the scheduler; second, said Ethernet transmission apparatus having a quick protective and fair attribute further includes an SDH processing module connected with said scheduler, said SDH processing module including a GFP packaging unit and a SDH VC crossing and payload processing unit, wherein the GPF packaging unit being used for packaging one or more data transactions with doubled layered MPLS tags into the SDH VC through the GFP packaging unit; the SDH VC crossing and payload processing unit being used to exchange the SDH VC for forming a STM-N signal after the regenerating field and the multiplexing field processing, said sorter, MPLS processing module and the SDH processing module are respectively connected to a network managing system.
