Redundancy vs Protection Switching

Hi,

Are redundancy and protection switching synonymous terms, or is there a difference between the two? I had assumed all along that they are synonymous. In fact all software implementations of redundancy that I have seen implement the various protection switching schemes out there. However, I have also seen terms like "redundancy and protection switching" in the literature, which makes me think that they may not be

** EXACTLY ** the same.

Thanks Nimmi
