NETWORK CONNECTIVITY

摘要

Traffic is transferred between a first consumer network node and a second consumer network node via a local connection established at a first service provider network node. The first service provider network node is connected to the first consumer network node via a first attachment circuit, and to the second network consumer node via a second attachment circuit. A loss in connectivity is detected between the first consumer network node and the second consumer network node via the local connection, and in response, traffic is transferred between the first consumer network node and the second consumer network node via a remote connection. The remote connection includes a pseudowire established between the first service provider network node and a second service provider network node. The second consumer network node is connected to the second service provider network node via a third attachment circuit.

1. A method of providing connectivity between a first consumer network node and a second consumer network node via a service provider network, the method comprising:
transferring traffic between the first consumer network node and the second consumer network node via a local connection established at a first service provider network node in the service provider network, the first service provider network node being connected to the first consumer network node via a first attachment circuit, and to the second network consumer node via a second attachment circuit; detecting a loss in connectivity between the first consumer network node and the second consumer network node via the local connection; and in response to detecting the loss in connectivity, transferring traffic between the first consumer network node and the second consumer network node via a remote connection, the remote connection comprising a pseudowire established between the first service provider network node and a second service provider network node in the service provider network, the second consumer network node being connected to the second service provider network node via a third attachment circuit.
