The survivability is one of the important issues in Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) networks. This article analyzes a new failure scenario and put forward a new restoration mechanism named as C-steering. The mathematical model has been established to investigate the survivability of the RPR network in three operation methods. The throughput-delay performance and link utilization are discussed theoretically and experimentally.
