Abstract:

To make it possible to satisfactorily perform a switching of an optical signal. An optical switch and a controller are included. The optical switch is situated between optical communication lines of a specified number of systems situated on an input side, and optical communication lines of a specified number of systems situated on an output side. The controller acquires connection-destination switching request information from an electric communication line, and controls, on the basis of the connection-destination switching request information, a connection established, in the optical switch, between the optical communication line on the input side and the optical communication line on the output side. The connection-destination switching request information includes, for example, connection destination information and time information that indicates a switching timing.
