Abstract:
A communication network is configured to operate a remote Loop-Free Alternate (LFA) procedure. Prior to detecting a link failure or switchover event associated with a protected link within a current path between a source node and a destination node of the communication network, a Point of Local Repair (PLR) node is configured for the protected link, and a repair tunnel endpoint node is configured for the PLR node. In response to detecting a link failure or switchover event associated with the protected link, a repair path is established between the source node and the destination node. The repair path is routed via the repair tunnel endpoint node, and the route of the repair path excludes the PLR node and the protected link.

Claim (Index 10):
A method, in a Point of Local Repair (PLR) node, for establishing a repair path between a source node and a destination node in a communication network configured to operate a remote Loop-Free Alternate (LFA) procedure, the method comprising:\n detecting a link failure or switchover event associated with a protected link within a current path between the source node and the destination node; updating next hop information in the PLR node to exclude the PLR node from the repair path; and sending a label withdraw message to a neighboring node, wherein the label withdraw message informs the neighboring node of a link failure or switchover event associated with the protected link.
