Abstract: Rapid failure detection and recovery in wireless communication networks is needed in order to meet, among other things, carrier class Ethernet transport channel standards. Thus, resilient wireless packet communications is provided using a hardware-assisted rapid transport channel failure detection algorithm and a Gigabit Ethernet data access card with an engine configured accordingly. In networks with various topologies, this is provided in combination with their existing protocols, such as rapid spanning tree and link aggregation protocols, respectively.

Abstract: An example system comprises a router configured to receive a bandwidth update associated with a change in bandwidth over a wireless channel, determine if the change in bandwidth identified in the bandwidth update results in bandwidth being over-reserved at at least one priority level, previously reserved bandwidth of the wireless channel being associated with a plurality of different priority levels, the previously reserved bandwidth being previously reserved based on a plurality of path requests from a head end router, each path request including at least one priority level and a bandwidth reservation request, if the change in bandwidth results in bandwidth being over-reserved, then preempt a lowest priority path request, based in the preemption of the lowest priority path request, update reserved bandwidth of the wireless channel of at least one priority level, and provide a message to the head end router regarding the change of bandwidth.
