Abstract
A method of operating a network that contains a plurality of nodes is disclosed. The plurality of nodes include a first node and a second node with the first and second nodes being connected via a first path and a second path that are different. The method includes operating the network in first and second modes of operation. In the first mode, traffic between the first and second nodes is transmitted over the first path and not the second path. In the second mode, traffic is transmitted over the first and second paths. The mode of operation is selected based upon a level of traffic between the first and second nodes.
