Abstract
Description
Technical field:
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of broadband network communication, in particular to a fast protection method for an Ethernet loop. Background technique:
[0002] There is redundancy on many LANs or WANs, and there is a ring topology. Loops in the Ethernet environment may cause network storms. To avoid this phenomenon, it is necessary to perform corresponding packet blocking on the ring to cut off the ring. We hope that when a loop occurs, the redundant loop can be cut off as soon as possible; when the redundant loop no longer exists, the original blockage can be quickly unblocked. In short, after the topology change of the ring, it is our goal to complete the convergence in a short time.
[0003] The Spanning Tree Protocol (Spanning Tree Protocol) as we know it may take a long time for consistent recovery in a topology change event. The new Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) is recognized as faster. However, its consi...
