<p>A protecting route design method is disclosed for a communication network including a plurality of nodes having preset information on a protecting route to switch over in parallel from a working route thereto when link or node failure occurs, according to a failure notification message including failure location information being transmitted from a failure detection node to each node. The protecting route design method includes the steps of searching a protecting route which can minimize a transfer time of the failure notification message from the failure detection node; and then, updating the searched protecting route to a protecting route having a spare communication capacity sharable for a different failure and having a route switchover time to be completed within a given time limit.</p> |
