Abstract: A method of preparing a backup virtual path (VP) for each primary VP is popular for establishing a reliable computer network. In the case of multiple failures, however, it is possible that multiple failures happen on both a primary VP and a pairwise backup VP. In order to solve the above problem, the paper proposes a new multiagent based method where more than one backup VP is prepared for each primary VP.
