End-to-end routing for user driven network recovery

Dependable communications are needed by some users. When failures disrupt their communications, recovery mechanisms are needed to bypass them and preserve communications delivery. This article studies a recovery mechanism deployed by users themselves, which suits to their needs. We propose a system based on end-to-end routing in an overlay network to recover users´ communications. We present this system, and measure its performances thanks to a software implementation. We show that our system is able to recover a communication in less than one second with low network resources consumption.
