ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for determining a repair strategy for a data communication network. The data communication network has as components nodes and links. The method comprises a step of implementing a link repair strategy for an adjacent link to an adjacent node. The method further monitors for a probe packet to the adjacent node and, if such a packet is received, implements a node repair strategy.
