Abstract: A network device configured to communicate with a network executes a security protocol. The security protocol establishes a secure session with a security peer network device, exchanges security protected traffic with the security peer network device over a secure link, detects whether there is a security failure in the secure session, and upon detecting a security failure, signals there is a security failure. The network device also executes a routing protocol. The routing protocol maintains a routing table that includes a route to the security peer over the secure link, routes the security protected traffic along the route, and, upon receiving from the security protocol the signal that there is a security failure, removes the route from the routing table to stop the routing.

Abstract: A first network element, such as a router, in a computer network may have established a communication link with a second network element in the computer network. A secure session associated with the communication link between the first and second network elements may then be established. The secure session may use a secure communication function on each of the first network element and the second network element. The first network element may then detect that the first network element cannot communicate with the second network element over the communication link. When the first network element cannot communicate with the second network element, the first network element may terminate the communication link and the secure session associated with the communication link.
