Abstract
A network architecture comprised of nodes and a transport network capable of recovering from failures within the network. The network architecture incorporates select functions into the nodes for managing the data flow between individual edge routers and their connection through core routers to the transport network. The select function allows an individual node to recover independently without signaling other nodes over the transport network. Utilizing the select function, the failure of a single core router can be recovered locally without recovery signaling over the transport network.
