Method for establishing a protected communication segment between two network elements of a telecommunication network as well as a corresponding telecommunication network

摘要

For establishing a protected communication segment between two network elements of a telecommunication network, a protected connection and a protecting connection must be set up. For this purpose, first cross connections carrying the communication traffic for the protected connection and second cross connections protecting the respective first cross connection for the protecting connection are established between corresponding termination points within these network elements, whereby this occurs in each network element independently of the respectively other network element.
