Ethernet a popular choice for metropolitan-area networks (MAN) due to simplicity, cost effectiveness and scalability. The Spanning-Tree based switching mechanism, which is considered to be very efficient at avoiding switching loops in LAN environment, is a performance bottleneck in Metro network context. Handling of link failure is an important issue in metro Ethernet networks. A link failure may result in serious service disruptions. A local restoration method for metro Ethernet with multiple spanning trees, which aims at fast handling of single link failures in a distributed manner, have been proposed in the literature. In this paper, we propose a local restoration mechanism that uses MULTILINK algorithm for solving multiple link failures
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
