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:
- in a first network device;
selecting a plurality of network paths for establishing a plurality of network connections to a second network device, wherein said selecting is based on support of IEEE Audio Video Bridging protocols;
establishing at least one of said plurality of connections over each of said selected network paths; and
concurrently transmitting and/or receiving a plurality of data streams via said established plurality of network connections, wherein at least a second one of said plurality of data streams comprises data that is redundant to a first one of said plurality of data streams.

Abstract
A first network device may select a plurality of network paths for establishing a plurality of network connections to a second network device. The selection may be based on support of IEEE Audio Video Bridging (AVB) protocols. The first network device may establish at least one of the plurality of connections over each of the selected network paths. The first network device may concurrently transmit and/or receive a plurality of data streams via the established plurality of network connections. At least a second one of the plurality of data streams may comprise data that is redundant to a first one of the plurality of data streams. One of the plurality of network connections may be selected for conveying a primary data stream based on determined path costs of the plurality of network paths, where non-AVB links may be assigned higher path costs than AVB link.
