The Bi-Mesh Survivable Network - Fast Recovery From Node Failure in MPLS Enabled Networks

Tags:
switching

Overview Today's converged networks are increasingly based on MPLS technology. To provide reliable carrier-grade service, MPLS-based recovery procedures must be able to quickly address any link or node failure. Current standardized MPLS fast recovery mechanisms cannot cope with egress node failure. This paper presents a dual plane core network architecture, a path naming convention and a simple recovery mechanism that together can remove that fundamental limitation.

How CIOs mitigate VoIP's risks

Converged network is far too risky to rely on for telephony, especially in life-critical areas like hospitals. Combining voice and data means there is requirement for one failover/recovery mechanism and immediate saving.
