Fast Recovery and Privacy Preservation against Global Eavesdropper in Ethernet Network
Abstract: Fast recovery from link failures is a well-studied topic in IP networks. Employing fast recovery in Ethernet networks is complicated as the forwarding is based on destination MAC addresses, which do not have the hierarchical nature similar to those exhibited in Layer 3 in the form of IP-prefixes. Moreover, switches employ backward learning to populate theforwarding table entries. Thus, any fast recovery mechanism in Ethernet networks must be based on …
