Abstract
A redundancy control method is disclosed that controls a first redundancy function that switches between a working line and a protection line in response to a detection of a line error and a second redundancy function that performs a path switching in response to a detection of a path error in a ring network operating at a path rate lower than a line rate thereof. The method comprises a step of masking the path error detection within a period from a time of the detection of the line error to an expected time of the detection of the path error.
