The invention discloses a route retransmission realization device and method, and switching equipment. The device comprises a plurality of service boards, a primary retransmission board, a standby retransmission board, a primary control board and a standby control board, wherein the standby control board is used for starting the primary-standby switching when detecting a failure of the primary control board, and establishing an information channel between the standby control board and the primary retransmission board or standby retransmission board; and the primary control board or standby control board is used for starting the primary-standby switching when detecting a failure of the primary control board, establishing an information channel between the primary control board or standby control board and the standby retransmission board, and establishing an information channel between the standby retransmission board and the service boards, thereby realizing data message interactions between the standby retransmission board and the service boards. When the primary control board fails, the retransmission service of the device can not be interrupted. When the primary retransmission board fails, the service boards are simple and quick to switch, thereby shortening the service interruption time, increasing the service restoration speed and reducing the time delay.
