Abstract

Today’s Internet backbone network offers enhanced performance to overcome loss, delay, and unavailability. In the occurence of failure of a component, the network becomes susceptible to problems like link faults, path faults, and router failure. Link failure causes looping, packet dropping, loss of data and unreliable network communication. So an efficient fault management implementation is vital to handle multiple link failures. Fault management is vital to get the network back to normal.To properly operate and maintain a complex network, the system as a whole, and each of its essential individual components, must work in tandem. In this proposed approach On-demand Link State (OLS) routing, with shared bandwidth technology is implemented for fault management, for handling multiple link failures. It guarantees the forwarding of loop free data to destinations in case of any number of network failures. The core idea of OLS routing is a blacklist, which carries information on downgraded links identified along the path that are to be avoided. This ensures uninterrupted data packet forwarding without packets getting dropped. Also, the shortest path to the destination is located, based on the state and cost of the link (Robertson and Nelakuditi 2012).KeywordsFault managementOLSLink faultsRouter faults and path faults
