Title：A Study of Fast Fault Recover Method using k-Hop Flooding
for Wide Area Layer2 Network
Abstract：A fast fault recovery method using temporary forwarding of frames has been proposed for wide area layer 2 network with high reliability. In the conventional method, the fault detection nodes forward frames based on pre-established recovery table when a fault occurs. The tables, however, are created without consideration on destination node of path, the frames are dropped before the arrival to the destination node. In this paper, a new fast fault recovery method using k-hop flooding is proposed for decrease in frame losses with no arrival to destination node. The proposed method can decrease frame losses with forwarding from fault detection nodes to all neighbor nodes. By computer simulation, it is shown effective range in proposed method from several perspectives.
