Abstract
The present invention, which may be embodied in or carried out by various components of a data communications network, provides an improved criterion for tearing down network links. The invention allows network components to take into account the quality, status and performance of other network links, as well as the overall performance of the network, when deciding whether to remove a failing network from service.
