Abstract
A method is described of constructing a transition route in a data communication network having as components nodes and links. Upon receipt of a transition notification identifying a first component a non-neighboring node constructs a transition route around the first component. In an embodiment, a node performs detecting the first component transition; issuing a transition notification identifying the first component and recognizable by nodes configured to construct a transition route around the first component; and upon expiry of a notification transition period, issuing a transition advertisement recognizable by all nodes on the network.
