In order to meet their stringent dependability requirements, most modern packet-switched
communication networks support fast-recovery mechanisms in the data plane. While …

One of the most promising techniques of network protection ie p-Cycles (pre-planned,
preconfigured-cycles) is reviewed in this paper. In this paper we provide a survey of the …

We investigate the deployment of p-cycles (preconfigured protection cycles) in WDM mesh
networks with and without wavelength conversion. We develop optimization models for the …

The paper introduces an extension to the method of p-cycles for network protection. The p-
cycle concept is generalized to protect path segments of contiguous working flow, not only …

We propose a new technique for optical-network protection called failure-independent path-
protecting (FIPP) p-cycles. The method is based on an extension of p-cycle concepts to …

In this article a framework for end-to-end service-guaranteed shared protection in dynamic
wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) mesh networks, called short leap shared protection …

This article is devoted to a selection of recent topics in survivable networking. New ideas in
capacity design and ring-to-mesh evolution are given, as well as a systematic comparison of …

Transport networks evolved from DCS (Digital Cross-connect Systems)-based mesh
architectures, to SONET/SDH (Synchronous Optical Networking/Synchronous Digital …

Optical Network Control is the first expert guide and single-source reference for controlling
and managing optical networks. This book fills the gap between optical network engineering …

p-cycles have been proposed for preprovisioned 1: N protection in optical mesh networks.
Although the protection circuits are preconfigured, the detection of failures and the rerouting …
