PCT No. PCT/FI95/00103 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 27, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 27, 1996 PCT Filed Feb. 27, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/24084 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 8, 1995The invention relates to A method for rerouting a connection-oriented packet-mode data connection, especially an ATM network data connection. In the method, traffic to be transferred between two nodes of the network is rerouted from a first, inactivated route to another, new route. To minimize loss of data during rerouting, the node initiating the rerouting sends a notification of the rerouting to the node of the opposite end and simultaneously starts to receive traffic from both routes, the opposite end node, having received the notification concerning the rerouting, starts to receive traffic from both routes, both nodes switch transmission to a new route so that the opposite end receives data from only one route at a time, and that rerouting is terminated for both nodes in that they independently cease to listen to a route to be deactivated. |
