This book takes a pragmatic approach to deploying state-of-the-art optical networking
equipment in metro-core and backbone networks. The book is oriented towards practical …

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 …

This paper presents a comprehensive survey for the pre-configured cycle (p-cycle)
protection method which is a relatively new scheme for network survivability with many …

Fiber cut events reduce the capacity of wide-area networks (WANs) by several Tbps. In this
paper, we revive the lost capacity by reconfiguring the wavelengths from cut fibers into …

High spectrum efficiency and fast restoration speed are highly desired for survivable elastic
optical networks (EONs). In this paper, we take the advantages of failure-independent path …

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 …

In optical networks, failures can imply in great loss of data due to high transmission rates,
leading to the need of employment of protection mechanisms. This paper introduces a novel …

The DARPA CORONET project seeks to develop the target network architectures and
technologies needed to build next-generation long-distance IP-over-Optical-Layer (IP/OL) …

This paper presents heuristics based on FIPP p-cycle as a solution for the protection
problem in elastic optical networks. The proposed algorithms employ failure independent …

For the purpose of improving the resources utilization efficiency and decrease network
redundancy of electric power communication network (EPCN), the paper explores using …
