Abstract:
1. A method for configuring IP network resource, comprising: configuring a Plane A and a Plane B to have a reciprocal master-slave relation and to carry service regardless of the state of the Plane A and the Plane B, wherein the Plane A and the Plane B are connected with each other in a carrying network; configuring two interfaces of an access device to have the reciprocal master-slave relation and assigning a first IP address and a second IP address associated with the Plane A and the Plane B to the two interfaces respectively, for connecting the two interfaces with the Plane A or the Plane B, wherein a first bandwidth and a second bandwidth are specified for the first IP address and the second IP address, respectively; distributing services to the first IP address and the second IP address of the two interfaces in turn if an IP address of a peer access device of the access device is unknown; if the IP address of the peer access device is known, distributing the services to the first IP address if a bandwidth of the services distributed to the first IP address does not exceed the first bandwidth, and distributing the services to the second IP address if the bandwidth of the services distributed to the first IP address exceeds the first bandwidth, and wherein both the first IP address and the IP address of the peer access device are associated with the Plane A.
