Abstract

A method to design resilient protocols for spanning tree problems is proposed. The method consists of a generic resilient protocol that can be used for any spanning tree problem. A resilient protocol for a particular spanning tree problem can be obtained by adjusting various run-time parameters of the generic protocol. The generic protocol is designed by using the concepts of replacement sets that contain the links that can be used to replace a link that fails and replacement values that measure the change in the spanning tree when a link in a replacement set is used to recreate a spanning tree. The approach is as general as the common approach (for the case of spanning trees) because the generic protocol can solve a new spanning tree problem without an individual design. The protocols obtained with this method are efficient and easy to implement and verify because they are all derived from the generic protocol. >
