摘要: The low cost, high transmission rate and ubiquity of current Ethernet lead to the possibility bringing into Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs). However, traditional spanning tree based protocol does not meet requirement for MANs in terms network resilience, despite advancement standardization commercialization. In this paper, we propose a fast reconnection (FSTR) mechanism Metro networks handle single link failure. Upon failure on tree, distributed recovery is activated reconnect broken using reconnect-link. We present details protocol, including notification forwarding table reconfiguration procedures. pre-configuration reconnect-links each formulated as an integer linear programming (ILP) problem. prove that problem NP-complete. develop efficient algorithm 2-edge connectivity augmentation can achieve close approximation optimal solutions. numerical results FSTR different topologies show its features efficiency recovery.
