METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FAULT RESILIENCE IN NETWORKS WITH AUDIO/VIDEO BRIDGING AWARE SHORTEST PATH BRIDGING
First Claim
1. A method for networking, the method comprising:
- determining a path cost for each network path discovered between a first network node and a second network node, wherein said determined path cost is based at least on AVB compatibility associated with each of said determined paths;
selecting a plurality of said network paths based on said determined path cost;
establishing a plurality of network connections between said first node and said second network node over said selected plurality of network paths; and
transmitting and/or receiving a plurality of data streams via said established plurality of network connections, wherein at least a second of said plurality of data streams comprises data that is redundant to a first of said plurality of data streams.

Abstract
Aspects of a method and system for fault resilience in Audio/Video Bridging (AVB) aware Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) networks are provided. In this regard, a path cost, which may be based at least on AVB compatibility, may be determined for each network path discovered between a first network node and a second network node. Additionally, a plurality of network paths may be selected based on the determined path cost, and a plurality of network connections may be established over the selected plurality of network paths. Also, a plurality of data streams may be transmitted and/or received via the established network connections, wherein at least one of data streams comprises data that is redundant to a first data stream. Furthermore, a primary data stream may be conveyed via a first network connection and one or more redundant data streams may be conveyed via a second network connection.
