Node A can be connected by following any one agreement with B: SDH/SONET, Ethernet, MPLS or any packet-based host-host protocol.In known network configuration, from node A(as source node) communication service of going to Node B (as destination node) will send at main path 2 conventionally, unless break down on this path (if node for example in intermediate node 4 or an interface in primary network interface are out of service).In this case, instead, will be on bypass footpath 3 transmission business.In this case, bypass footpath can be counted as Protection path.
Yet this embodiment of the present invention depends on the following fact: the most of the time, bypass footpath will can not be used and therefore represent that bandwidth usage is not enough.Therefore,, once the bit rate of the business of going to Node B at node A place surpasses threshold value, just use bypass footpath.This has realized and when there is no fault, has used bypass footpath, thereby has utilized untapped bandwidth originally.This data volume that can be delivered to the primary network interface 5 at node A place by calculating realizes, once and surpass threshold value, just data exchange is arrived to bypass footpath 3.
In order to ensure still keeping rational elasticity (resiliency), designated high priority protection is not subject to the impact of the defective equipment of some tool (node or interface).Therefore the priority that, is switched to the data in bypass footpath 3 from main path 2 can be configured to lower than the priority that main path 2 lost efficacy.This priority can be carried out according to automatic protection exchange agreement, and for example G.808.1 ITU recommendation sets forth with G841.In the simple embodiment shown in Fig. 1 of accompanying drawing, this priority is optional, but technical staff will recognize that its necessity in larger network.
Therefore, the data allocations between different connection can be as shown in Fig. 2 of accompanying drawing.When receiving at node A place the data of going to Node B, on the processor 10 in node A, the software of operation will be used shown method that data allocations is arrived to main or auxiliary link 2,3.Whether normally first step 100 determines primary link operation.If not, in all data of step 102, will be sent out by auxiliary link so.If primary link moves, this software determines in step 104 whether the bit rate of going to the data of Node B from node A is greater than threshold value so.If so, at two links of step 106, all will be used so, and if not, in step 108, only use primary link so.
