Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To disclose a method and a system of determining a route between nodes in a network. SOLUTION: The system of determining the route between the nodes in the network includes a determination node, and a link aggregation group (LAG) having a first link and a second link. The system also includes a submission source node communicably coupled to a destination node by the LAG. The submission source node, the LAG and the destination node form the route. The submission source node determines link availability states of the first link and the second link by a layer 2 protection mechanism. The submission source node monitors the route for the connectivity based on the link availability states by a layer 3 protection mechanism. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
