ABSTRACT:
In working path setting, a backup path is previously prepared assuming a link failure, and a demultiplexer of a bypass link is connected to a wavelength conversion repeater through an optical switch. Upon occurrence of a link failure, the wavelength conversion repeater is connected to a multiplexer of the bypass link by means of the optical switch to forward an in-channel control signal to the wavelength conversion repeater of an adjacent node where the in-channel control signal is sequentially forwarded to reserve a backup bandwidth. Then, output wavelengths and targets are exchanged between a wavelength tunable transponder and the wavelength tunable repeater.
