Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of network technology, in particular to an automatic protection technology of an Ethernet ring network, a method and a device for ensuring reliable operation of the Ethernet ring network when a master node in the Ethernet ring network is restarted. Background technique
[0002] With the rapid development of the Internet, IP networks have gradually become an indispensable tool in people's daily work and life. RFC3619 defines an Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching (Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching, EAPS) method, which solves the problem of Ethernet equipment The problem of slow convergence of faults occurs in the ring network topology, and the method can make the convergence time within 50ms. This method defines some basic concepts. Each EAPS physical ring is composed of multiple nodes connected. According to different functions, the nodes are divided into transmission nodes and master nodes. Multiple logica...
