The present invention relates to a method and system of fate sharing segment protection. In one embodiment, this can be accomplished by monitoring the infrastructure segments, detecting a fault at the infrastructure segment, provisioning protection group between the source node and the destination node as outer work and outer protect (Outer Protection Group, OPG), and between at least two intermediate nodes as inner work and inner protect (Inner Protection Group IPG) and provisioning at least one supplementary outer protect on the same port of the OPG nodes where the OPG is provisioned, such that the outer supplementary protect diverge in such a way that mirrors the behavior (or shares the fate) of the inner work and inner protect. |
