Abstract:
A direction-switchable transponder of a high speed communications network, e.g., an fiber optic data communications network, is capable of dynamically reversing the data traffic flow of its various communications channels in response to a signal. The signal can specify a number of channels, a channel map, or a required bandwidth. The direction-switchable transponder can receive a signal relating to network bandwidth requirements; select, based on the received signal, one or more fiber optic channels for reversing direction of flow of network traffic; and dynamically and automatically reconfigure the selected fiber optic signal to reverse direction of flow of network traffic. By responding to asymmetric bandwidth requirements, the direction-switchable transponder uses high speed communications network lines more efficiently.

Claim (Index 13):
A system, comprising:\n a first component configured to receive a signal relating to network bandwidth requirements; and a second component configured to:\n select a plurality of high speed communications channels for reversing directions of flow of network traffic of the plurality of high speed communications channels, the plurality of channels selected based on the received signal; \n suspending communications on the selected plurality of high speed communications channels prior to reconfiguring the selected plurality of high speed communications channels to reverse the directions of flow of network traffic including by requesting devices attempting to communicate via the selected plurality of high speed communications channels to move to one or more alterative high speed communications channels; and \n automatically reconfigure the selected plurality of channels to reverse the directions of flow of network traffic.
