Abstract
In a mesh communications network, in which working and protection paths may be established, channels used to carry protection traffic between nodes are shared across multiple protection paths. Channels need only be shared if sharing does not adversely impact network usage. If working and protection paths become susceptible to single points of failure, channels need not be shared.
