Abstract

The topology discovering message transmitted periodically by Loop control net bridge returns to control net bridge the whole loop, and records the state of net bridge and link. The control bridge notifies the topology message to other net bridge through topology instruction, and appoints protective net bridge and protective port to prevent net bridge from blocking protective port, and avoids data to cycle in loop. The net bridge selects shortest path, and implements spatial reuse according to the topology message. Meanwhile the net bridge use heart rate message to examine connectivity of link. When the failure of link is found, it notifies protective net bridge to accomplish fast protection switching.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to data communication networks. The invention particularly relates to MAC bridging networks such as Ethernet, loop topology discovery, connectivity checking and automatic protection switching for space reuse networks. Background technique [0002] With the popularity of the Internet and the continuous emergence of new services, the data traffic in LANs and MANs has grown exponentially. A technology mainly used in the metropolitan area network is synchronous digital sequence (SDH / SONET). SDH / SONET provides self-healing capability, and provides 1+1 and 1:N protection within 50ms through protection switching. SDH / SONET adopts time-division multiplexing mode, which is mainly suitable for voice transmission, but it has the disadvantages of high cost and low efficiency for data transmission. [0003] The MAC bridging network at the link layer, especially Ethernet, is gradually and widely used in the construction of metropolita...
