Abstract
A data transmitting device coupling to a plurality of nodes in a network includes a plurality of communication paths, the data transmitting device includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory configured to set a routing table based on a command that designates a first communication path included in the plurality of communication paths, to detect a link failure occurred in the network, and when the link failure has occurred at a first location between the data transmitting device and a first node adjacent to the data transmitting device on the first communication path, to modify the routing table so that data are to be transmitted to a second node on a second communication path different from the first communication path, and when the link failure has occurred at a second location that differs from the first location in the network, to maintain the routing table.
