Abstract
A network connection device for performing a process of transmitting and receiving a SONET/SDH frame includes a first protocol processor which processes a first network management protocol; a second protocol processor which processes a second network management protocol; a frame header extractor which extracts a header from the received SONET/SDH frame; and a protocol identifier which identifies a network management protocol based on the extracted frame header. The network connection device selects one of a control signal outputted from the first protocol processor and a control signal outputted from the second protocol processor based on a result of the identification, and outputs the control signal.
