As the Internet expands in reach and capacity, the energy consumption of network
equipment increases. To date, the cost of transmission and switching equipment has been …

Survivability, the ability of a network to withstand and recover from failures, is one of the most
important requirements of networks. Its importance is magnified in fiber optic networks with …

This paper investigates the problem of dynamic survivable lightpath provisioning in optical
mesh networks employing wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM). In particular, we focus …

The exponentially growing number of Internet users armed with emerging multimedia
Internet applications is continuously thirsty for more network capacity. Wavelength-division …

In MPLS/GMPLS networks, a range of restoration schemes are required to support different
tradeoffs between service interruption time and network resource utilization. In light of these …

In this paper, we investigate approaches and algorithms for establishing a multicast session
in a mesh network while protecting the session against any single link failure, eg, a fiber cut …

The design of survivable mesh based communication networks has received considerable
attention in recent years. One task is to route backup paths and allocate spare capacity in …

The advent of fiber optic transmission systems and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM)
have led to a dramatic increase in the usable bandwidth of single fiber systems. This book …

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 …

This paper investigates survivable lightpath provisioning and fast protection switching for
generic mesh-based optical networks employing wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) …
