TLDR
In this article, a system and method for performing an in-service optical time domain reflectometry test, an insertion loss test, and an in service optical frequency domain reflectionometry test using the same wavelength as the network communications for point-to-point or point-multipoint optical fiber networks while maintaining continuity of network communications are disclosed.Abstract:

Systems and methods of measuring latency and routing thereon in optical networks
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present systems and methods for making latency measurements and using these measurements in routing in optical networks, where two nodes sharing a line automatically determine whether both nodes are capable of making a latency measurement and then which node will initiate and which node participates in making the latency measurement.
Patent
Unified network management of hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) network
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a network management system that enables a network operator to use any (and a single) NMS that it desires to manage a network having mixed fiber to the home optical network units (ONUs) and coaxial connected cable modems.
Patent
Manageability tools for lossless networks
TL;DR: Manageability tools for allowing an administrator to have better control over switches in a lossless network of switches are presented in this article, where the tools provide the ability to detect slow drain and congestion bottlenecks, detect stuck virtual channels and loss of credits, while hold times on edge ASICs to be different from hold times encore ASICs, and mitigate severe latency bottleneck.
Patent
Refresh of the binding tables between data-link-layer and network-layer addresses on mobility in a data center environment
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for assisting communication of a source host upon movement from a first Data Center (DC) to a second DC is disclosed, which includes identifying that the source host has moved from the first DC to the second DC, ensuring that packets identifying a source as the source hosts in the secondDC are copied to a control plane network element, and, for a first destination host identified in a first packet copied to the control-plane network element and identified as a host that is not in a secondDC, updating an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)/Neighbor Discovery

Alexander I. Soto,Walter G. Soto +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a system for powering a network element of a fiber optic wide area network is described, which does not require a separate power network and can be used to switch between a central office and a subscriber terminal.
Patent
Method and system for detecting optical faults within the optical domain of a fiber communication network
TL;DR: In this paper, a method and system for detecting optical signal degradation or loss within the optical domain of a fiber network is proposed, where the optical signals for fault detection are broadcast or switched through working and/or spare fibers.
Patent
Multichannel optical fiber communications
TL;DR: In this paper, a number of capacity-limiting considerations are relaxed for in-ground dispersion-shifted optical fiber communications with at least two WDM channels in opposite transmission directions in a single fiber.
Patent
Testing network communications
TL;DR: In this article, a test data frame is generated incorporating the predetermined items, with the source and destination addresses exchanged, and incorporating additional content of predetermined value, and a transmitter transmits the new data frame with the exchanged addresses into the network.
Patent
Smart single fiber optic transceiver
TL;DR: In this paper, a fiber optic transceiver adapted for use in an optical fiber data transmission system is described, which is capable of detecting fiber connection problems and providing visual or other indications of a problem.
