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 12):
A method, in an intermediate node of a communication network, for establishing a repair path in response 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;\n wherein the intermediate node is located between a Point of Local Repair (PLR) node and a repair tunnel endpoint node, the method comprising:\n receiving a label withdraw message from a first neighboring node, the first neighboring node being on the PLR node side of the intermediate node; \n updating next hop information of the intermediate node in response to receiving the label withdraw message; and \n sending a label withdraw message to a second neighboring node, the second neighboring node being at least one hop further away from the PLR node than the first neighboring node.
