Figure 7-2 Protection for gold level service

For silver level service, upon failure the service path is re-calculated after the
convergence of the topology. As the network convergence is time-consuming, the
service damaging or interruption time in re-routing is longer than the switching time for
the above two services.
Compared with the two services described above, the silver service has an advantage
that it does not need bandwidth reservation for recovery, thus improving the bandwidth
utilization. As shown in Figure 7-3, when the service link fails, a new path will be found
to recover the service.
There are two modes for rerouting: revertive and non-revertive. If the service reverts to
the original path when the fault is removed, it is in revertive mode; if not, it is in
non-revertive mode.
