This application relates to the field of
optical fiber communication network technology and discloses a communication network optimization method based on
optical fiber sensing and the importance of carried services. The method includes: periodically injecting optical time-domain
reflectometry (OTDR) sensing signals into all spare
fiber cores; calculating the current loss and
crosstalk values of each spare
fiber core based on the backscattered signals; monitoring and analyzing the service flows carried on the operating
fiber cores; determining the current service importance level of each
service flow according to a power communication service type-
level mapping table; when an operating fiber core fails, selecting and removing target fiber cores from the set of available spare fiber cores in descending order of service importance level according to fiber core selection rules, forming a mapping relationship; generating and sending port switching control commands based on the mapping relationship to migrate services and updating the
network routing table. This application achieves refined
perception of spare resources and intelligent protection of
differentiated service needs during communication network fault
recovery.
