What is Multi-Failures Protection

Chapter 13
Handbook of Research on Redesigning the Future of Internet Architectures
Most of local repair technologies do not allow repairing multiple failures at the same time without data loop. Some advanced approaches allow considering Shared Risk Link Group (SRLG) where some form of multiple failures are considered when they are related to the same error source. With ARCs, multi-failures are supported either when occurring in different ARCs, or even in the same ARC.

Abstract
Every computer network has been built in the last 30 years on the concept of routing tree to compute the path to be used to reach a given prefix or the border of a routing area. This chapter introduces the concept of Available Routing Construct (ARC), which is a two-end (or more) routing basic element that forms its own recovery domain. As it is dual ended, any failure in an ARC can be easily locally resolved by reversing the path toward the other end. A routing area can therefore be described in a graph of hierarchical ARCs. This new paradigm could be leveraged to improve the network resiliency and utilization for both unicast and multicast traffic.
