Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention described herein, discloses a method and system for managing a communication network using any loop avoidance or mitigation technology. The restoration of network under fault, or sub-optimal network condition, maintenance and improvement of network connectivity and network behaviour is based upon GET and POST commands. In one embodiment of the present invention, the restoration mechanism is used to maintain or improve network connectivity and network behaviour or function upon receipt of command from management plane or control plane to build optimal network condition (e.g: minimum hops, maximum bandwidth, etc.) for data traffic, within a communication network of any topology.
Claims12
A method for restoring a network due to link (or node) fault between a pair of nodes associated to the link (or node), maintaining and improving network connectivity and network behaviour within a communication network of any topology using any loop avoidance or mitigation technology, the method comprising:
- identifying membership with an existing tree or loop-free topology within the network;
- identifying occurrence of fault in any link or node of the tree;
- obtaining information from neighboring nodes of the associated-nodes under fault, operator command or to build optimal network condition for traffic;
- and
- using the information for updating previous information having with the associated nodes thereby restoring the fault link, maintaining and improving network connectivity and network behaviour;
- wherein the restoration of network under fault, maintenance and improvement of network connectivity and network behaviour is based upon GET and POST commands.
A system for restoring a network due to link (or node) fault between a pair of nodes associated to the link (or node), maintaining and improving network connectivity and network behaviour within a communication network of any topology using any loop avoidance or mitigation technology, the system comprising:
- a membership with an existing tree or loop-free topology within the network;
- an identifier for identifying occurrence of fault in any link or node of the tree;
- and
- information being obtained from neighboring nodes of the associated-nodes under fault, operator command or to build optimal network condition for traffic;
- wherein the information are used for updating previous information having with the associated nodes thereby restoring the fault link (or node) and wherein the restoration of fault link (or node), maintaining and improving network connectivity and network behaviour is based upon GET and POST commands.
