TECHNIQUE FOR BANDWIDTH EFFECTIVE TRAFFIC PROTECTION IN COMMUNICATION NETWORKS

摘要

Technology for reducing bandwidth consumption in an Ethernet network, by dynamic selection of one copy of traffic services (per protection group) for transmitting to a remote Ethernet node from a multi-homing node. The dynamic selection is performed during a normal (full) working condition of the multi-homing node. In case the multi-homing node condition changes to a partially working condition, selection of the services per protection group depends on the remaining working facilities of the multi-homing node.
