摘要:
A method is disclosed for constructing a backup route from a source node around an adjacent component. The source node derives a first set of nodes reachable from it without traversing the adjacent component and a second set of nodes from which a neighbor node of adjacent components is reachable without traversing the adjacent component. The source node then constructs a backup route via an intermediate node in the intersection of the first and second sets.
摘要:
A method of forwarding data in a data communications network comprising a plurality of nodes comprises the step of forwarding data according to a forwarding strategy implemented at a forwarding node. Where the implemented strategy comprises a repair strategy to compensate for a change in the network, the method further comprises the step of encapsulating the data in a primary repair encapsulating packet and marking the primary repairing encapsulating packet as repaired.
摘要:
A method is disclosed for determining a repair strategy for a data communication network. The data communication network has as components nodes and links. The method comprises a step of implementing a link repair strategy for an adjacent link to an adjacent node. The method further monitors for a probe packet to the adjacent node and, if such a packet is received, implements a node repair strategy.
