Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and device for establishing backup path, a method and device for selecting backup path. The method comprises a first node in a first IGP domain receiving a response message of successful establishment of a main path from a second node in a second IGP domain through the main path; the first node obtains path information of the main path from the response message; the path information of the main path includes at least SRLG information of a link composing the main path; the first node establishes, according to the path information of the main path, a backup path between the first node and the second node; the SRLG information of a link composing the backup path is different from the SRLG information of the link composing the main path.

Method and device for establishing backup path, method and device for selecting backup path

A method of MPLS network traffic switching is provided herein. The method includes these steps: receiving a message indicative of creating a new LSP successfully, and generating a new uplink forwarding entry and a new downlink forwarding entry according to the message; storing the new uplink forwarding entry, and configuring the new downlink forwarding entry; configuring the new uplink forwarding entry upon completion of configuring the new downlink forwarding entry; and forwarding the traffic according to the new uplink forwarding entry and the new downlink forwarding entry. By ensuring the sequence of processing the events in the traffic switching process, the method reduces the probability of traffic interruption in the traffic switching process. A network node device for implementing MPLS network traffic switching is also provided herein.
