Abstract
A node communicates with a first network through a link aggregation of at least one primary port and at least one backup port. The link aggregation is for rerouting a communication with the first network to occur through the backup port in response to a malfunction in the communication through the primary port. In response to a malfunction in the communication through the backup port, the node communicates with a second network.
