The present invention relates to a method and system of carrying multicast/broadcast content from a content server to a plurality of enodeB's over an LTE network. In one embodiment this is accomplished by dividing the network into multiple MB SFN (Single Frequency Network), broadcasting a content distribution message to all the enodeBs within MBSFN by the content server, wherein the content distribution message having a content identification tag in order to inform all the enodeBs the appropriate time period or the non-busy period to download the content segments and downloading the content segments by all the enodeB's from the content server.

Method and system of carrying content from a content server to a plurality of eNodeB'S over an LTE network

The present invention relates to a protection switching method in a communication network, the communication network including plurality of communication devices forming a linear chain and at least one non-ERPS on the nodes ERPS (Ethernet Ring Protection Switching) device connecting terminal ports of the linear chain and thereby forming a ring. In one embodiment this is accomplished by instantiating ERPS on each communication device that forms a linear chain and on each non-terminal ports of the linear chain, identifying a node or link fault in the network, wherein the link or node fault is detected by Continuity Check Message (CCM), Loss of Light (LOL), Loss of Signal (LOS), Loss of periodic continuity check messages (IEEE 802.1 ag) or any other mechanisms thereof, blocking ports of the communication device in response to the detection of fault, periodically broadcasting a fault message by the blocked ports of the communication devices, wherein the message gets terminated at the ports of the communication device within the linear chain network without reaching the non-ERPS device, flushing the Media Access Control (MAC) table entry upon receipt of the fault message by all the communication device and unblocking of a root port link (RPL) of the linear for providing an alternate path to route network traffic after receipt of the fault message.
