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

The Internet has become essential to all aspects of modern life, and thus the consequences
of network disruption have become increasingly severe. It is widely recognised that the …

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 …

As the Internet becomes increasingly important to all aspects of society, the consequences
of disruption become increasingly severe. Thus it is critical to increase the resilience and …

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 handbook is an authoritative, comprehensive reference on optical networks, the
backbone of today's communication and information society. The book reviews the many …

Elastic optical networks (EONs) have been receiving extensive attention because of their
inherent flexibility and the efficiency with which they allocate fiber-bandwidth. For an EON …

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 …

This paper is an introduction to survivability of WDM networks. All the main optical protection
techniques proposed as far as now for the WDM layer are classified and reviewed. In …

We describe a novel restoration strategy called virtual protection cycles (p-cycles, patents
pending) for extremely fast restoration in IP networks. Originally conceived for use in WDM …
