A method and apparatus for generating first and second tree topologies for any source node in a network which can be represented as a node or an edge redundant graph, such that any node in the graph remains connected to the source node via at least one tree even after the failure of a node or an edge. This technique provides a recovery mechanism upon detection of a failure in a network.
