A connection oriented communications network 10 comprises a plurality of nodes including a plurality of edge nodes 12, 14, 16, 18. The network is arranged to define a primary tunnel connecting a primary one 12, 14 of the edge nodes to another edge node 14, 12 and a secondary tunnel connecting a secondary one 16, 18 of the edge nodes to another edge node 12, 14, 16, 18. The network is arranged to enable switching of traffic from the primary tunnel to the secondary tunnel in the event of detection of a failure in the primary tunnel.
