  • the node of one end of the connection initiating rerouting from said deactivated route by sending a notification of the rerouting to the node of the opposite end of the connection and simultaneously starting to receive traffic from both of said routes;

    the opposite end node, having received said notification of the rerouting, starting to receive traffic from both of said routes,both of said nodes switching transmission of data to said new route, so that each end receives data from only one route at a time, andterminating rerouting for both of said nodes such that both of said nodes independently cease to listen to said deactivated route.
