1. A network protection switching system for resynchronizing network communication between a line layer and a control layer after identification of a network failure, the system comprising:

  • a) a resynchronization table for storing a plurality of connection states corresponding to a plurality of interconnected network elements, the interconnected network elements forming a network path in the line layer of the network; and

    b) an interface for providing access of a first controller to the connection states of the resynchronization table, the first controller included in the control layer which is coupled to the line layer for monitoring network traffic communicated therein;

    wherein resynchronization of the line layer and the control layer is established after the failure using the first controller to propagate the connection states for use by other controllers of the control layer.
