Abstract :
The topological routing over N2R structures has been studied and implemented using different techniques. An implemented algorithm achieves good performance and a restoration mechanism has been added to the algorithm to obtain higher reliability. This paper introduces the concept of restoration, when failures occurs, being able to reroute the packets to the destination when the main path is not available. The goal is prove that there is an easy and efficient method for restoration in case of a failure of any element.
