Abstract
The present invention relates to a redundancy system of routing paths and method thereof. By establishing corresponding routing paths from different ports of routers in a ring network to a terminal in advance and transmitting the identical packet to the terminal by the different ports in the different routing paths simultaneously, the time of reestablishing the routing paths may be saved when one of the routing paths is broken, so as to improve the routing efficiency.
Claims10
A redundancy system of routing paths for at least one router used in a ring network, the redundancy system comprising:
- a routing module, configured to establish a first routing path from a first port of the router to a terminal in advance, and establishing a second routing path from a second port of the router to the terminal in advance;
- and
- a transmission module, configured to transmit a unicast packet via the first routing path and the second routing path simultaneously.
A redundancy method of routing paths for at least one router in a ring network, the redundancy method comprising steps of:
- establishing a first routing path from a first port of the router to a terminal in advance, and establishing a second routing path from a second port of the router to the terminal in advance;
- and
- transmitting a unicast packet by the router via the first routing path and the second routing path simultaneously.
