Abstract
There is proposed a technique for counting channels at a node of a multi-channel optical network, where the node is connected to a following node and a preceding node by an optical communication line carrying a plurality of information optical channels. The technique comprises exchanging of information structures between the nodes, such that each of the information structures specifies particular optical information channels which are currently in use at a predetermined network section or node.
