FIFR is generalized to handle both link and node failures in networks with asymmetric link weights and multi-access links too and it is argued that FIFR ...

In this paper, we generalize FIFR to handle both link and node failures in net-works with asymmetric link weights and multi-access links too. Furthermore, we ...

In this paper, we show that the order of updates rarely matters for loop-free convergence when the failure inference-based fast reroute (FIFR) scheme with ...

To handle such rare cases where the order matters, it can be coupled with progressive link metric increments to ensure loop-freedom with unordered FIB updates.
