ABSTRACT:
The delineation and quick invocation of protection switching is achieved by generating a protection indicator having an initial state at the point that a transmission facility failure is detected and passing the indicator downstream. A switch that receives the indicator either increments or decrements the indicator in accordance with predetermined rules. However, a switch that receives the indicator when it reaches an active state immediately invokes protection switching if that switch is at the sink end of an associated protection path.
