Chapter 4 ULDP Function Configuration

4.1 Introduction to ULDP Function

Unidirectional link is a common error state of link in networks, especially in fiber links.

Unidirectional link means that only one port of the link can receive messages from the other

port, while the latter one can not receive messages from the former one. Since the physical

layer of the link is connected and works normal, via the checking mechanism of the physical

layer, communication problems between the devices can not be found. As shown in Graph, the

problem in fiber connection can not be found through mechanisms in physical layer like

automatic negotiation.

Fiber Cross Connection

One End of Each Fiber Not Connected
