An apparatus is described for forwarding data in a data communications network having as components nodes and links therebetween in which nodes obtain a reachability metric between a neighbor node and one or more other nodes in the network and in which a repair path is created between an instigating repair node and a receiving repair node around a failure component therebetween. A propagatable repair address for the receiving repair node is reachable by the repair path notvia the failure component. The apparatus is arranged to treat propagatability of the repair address differently via the failure component than via other components.
