ABSTRACT:
A communications network (20) includes a constellation (30) of any number of moving switching nodes and a route-determining node (28). The route-determining node (28) performs an off-line procedure (58) to define a-priori routing for the entire network for a planning period. When a link (40) fails, the switching nodes (30) terminating the link (40) implement an interim rerouting procedure (78). The route-determining node (28) then operates in a failure response mode to quickly devise updated routing definitions. In the failure response mode route trees (110) which include the failed link (40') are identified. Shortest path routes for nodes (30) isolated by the link failure are revised to omit the failed link (40'). Shortest path routes for non-isolated nodes (30) and in route trees which do not include the failed link are not changed.
