Abstract :
Fail-over switching is a key factor in approaches to fault-tolerant Ethernet (FTE) implementation. This paper presents some key points in the fail-over switching process of popular two-port FTE. A new algorithm of fail-over switching for multi-ports is then presented. This is based on our new hybrid approach. A simulation tool has been developed to aid identification of fail-over switching time. Recommendations on the selection of the design parameters for FTE implementation are provided. These results can be directly applicable to conventional hardware-based approaches.
