<p>A system is provided for providing a protection path for connection-oriented signals in a telecommunications network comprising a plurality of nodes. The system includes a source node, a destination node and a penultimate node. The source node is operable to transmit traffic. The destination node is operable to receive traffic from the source node. The penultimate node is operable to receive traffic from the source node, to transmit traffic directly to the destination node, to designate one of the nodes as a reflector and to generate a first segment of a protection path from the penultimate node through the reflector to the destination node.</p> |
