MUMBAI, India, Aug. 12 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541009463 A) filed by Ciena Corporation on February 05, 2025, for Prioritized Detection Of Bfd/S-Bfd Faults For Fault Recovery And Datapath Availability.
Inventors include Priyanshu; Ashutosh Aggarwal; and Aditya Mittal.
The application for the patent was published on August 07, 2026, under issue no. 32/2026.
Abstract: Systems and methods provide prioritizing detection of Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) or Seamless BFD (S-BFD) faults in a network (10) having BFD or S- BFD sessions. In an embodiment, a method (300) includes steps of specifying (302) a prioritization attribute for at least one BFD or S-BFD session of the BFD or S- BFD sessions to designate the at least one BFD or S-BFD session as high priority relative to other concurrently configured sessions of the BFD or S-BFD sessions; monitoring (304) the BFD or S-BFD sessions for faults; and upon (306) detecting a fault in the at least one BFD or S-BFD session, processing the detected fault with higher precedence than faults detected in sessions not designated as high priority, thereby expediting recovery for critical traffic flows and reducing downtime.
