Hello,
Maybe I don't understand your response but PNNI uses the Dijkstra
Algorithm
To compute the shortest path so why wont it re-route when a better path
that
Satisfies the same QoS (using CAC) requirements is available.

Regards, Edet

My understanding is that ATM's PNNI is not a best path routing protocol
in
the same sense as RIP or OSPF. So long as the nodes can maintain
established
QoS for a VC the switching path will go unchanged. Compare with MPLS
which
would make your topology switch back to a shorter path upon recovery of
the
direct link.
