Abstract
In a group of servers, a link fault to one of the servers is detected. In response to detecting the link fault, network traffic that uses the faulty link is distinguished and the distinguished network traffic is forwarded. Applicable backup links are activated, and the distinguished traffic is redirected using an activated backup link for the faulty link.
