Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to an upgrading device and method, in particular to a remote upgrading device and method for network element software. Background technique

[0002] Software upgrade is the process of upgrading software from one version to a new version. In a communication network, it is necessary to upgrade the software of the network element to implement function expansion and error repair of the network element software. A network element management system manages a large number of network elements, only some access network elements or gateway network elements communicate directly with the network management center, and other network elements communicate with the network management center through access network elements or gateway network elements, and they The communication with the access network element or the gateway network element must go through all the upstream network elements of the network element itself. The connection between two...
