The method and system employs a protection object (80) including a set of attributes (84) and a set of functions (86) in communication with the attributes (84). The attributes (84) may store switching state information of the telecommunications network (14). The functions (86) may include a set of service functions (88) and a set of private functions (90). The service functions (88) may accept switching state information of the telecommunications network (14), store that information to the attributes (84) and retrieved that information from the attributes (84). The private functions (90) may also retrieved switching state information from the attributes (84). The private functions (90) may be invoked by a service function (88) or by another private function (90). Together, the service functions (88) and the private functions (90) implement the predefined protection switching protocol and invoke a set of system functions (100).
