Embodiment 1
[0024] Embodiment 1, a method for path recovery, see figure 2 , the method includes:
[0025] Step 201: Receive section restoration capability information of a network element on a control plane and a data plane.
[0026] Network elements in the network diffuse information about their recovery capabilities in the control plane and data plane sections to other network elements in the network in real time. Routing protocols such as OpenShortest-Path First (OSPF) can be used to diffuse network elements. For the section recovery capability information, in the existing network element capability field, bits are used to indicate whether the network element supports the section recovery capability.
[0027] Step 202: When a section recovery request is received, a recovery path is calculated according to the section recovery capability information of the network element in the control plane and the data plane.
[0028] When a segment in the network fails, a network element that is ...
Embodiment 2
[0039] Embodiment 2, a method for path recovery, after the network initialization is completed, the information of the recovery capability of each network element section in the network is diffused through the routing protocol, and can be diffused to other network elements or PCEs in the network; During the process, the operator may upgrade the network elements, so that the network elements that do not originally support the section recovery capability can support the section recovery capability. When the section restoration capability information of the network element changes, the updated section restoration capability information is diffused through the routing protocol, and may be diffused to other network elements or PCEs in the network. After the recovery capability information of the network element section changes, the recovery path that has been established may no longer be the optimal recovery path. This embodiment adds a step of updating the recovery path on the basi...
Embodiment 3
[0050] Embodiment 3, a method for path restoration. The methods in Embodiments 1 and 2 can be applied to various communication networks, including optical networks. In this embodiment, the restoration method in Embodiment 1 is applied to general In the generalized multi-protocol label switching protocol (Generalized Multi-protocol Label Switching, GMPLS), in this embodiment, the control device for path recovery is a node in the network, that is, the calculation method for restoring the path in this embodiment is distributed computing, using SERO means recovery path. The recovery request node is the head node of the path where the faulty segment is located. In this embodiment, the segment recovery capability information of each network element is the information of whether each network element has the Segment Recovery capability, that is, whether it supports the calculation of the distributed recovery path .
[0051] see image 3 , the recovery method of this embodiment inclu...
