Abstract

Selon des modes de réalisation, la présente demande concerne un procédé, un appareil et un système de communication. Un dispositif informatique de routage envoie des informations de capacité de calcul à un dispositif de commande centralisé ; le dispositif de commande centralisé attribue une instance de défaut au dispositif informatique de routage en fonction des informations de capacité de calcul du dispositif informatique de routage ; le dispositif informatique de routage calcule un trajet de récupération pour un conduit OTN correspondant à l'instance de défaut attribuée, de sorte qu'après apparition d'un défaut, un actionneur de routage peut récupérer rapidement le conduit OTN en fonction d'un trajet de récupération précalculé, améliorant ainsi l'efficacité de récupération du conduit OTN.
