Network protection against link failure is required to allow packets to reach the destination
with minimal packet loss when a failure occurs. When a link fails, traffic that attempts to use …

A shared risk link group (SRLG) is a set of links which share a common risk of failure.
Routing protocols in Generalized MultiProtocol Label Switching, using distributed SRLG …

Segment p-cycles offer an interesting compromise between the classical (link) p-cycles and
the path p-cycles (also known as FIPP p-cycles), inheriting most advantages of both p-cycle …

As the size and the complexity of optical mesh networks grow, double-link failures become
more probable. To protect against double-link failures, we generally have to provision more …

Network availability is an important requirement in an optical telecommunication network. To
overcome a disconnection, preparing a backup path before failure happens is required to …

In this paper, we address the problem of designing survivable optical networks. Path
Protection (PP) and Link Protection (LP) schemes are the main means of protecting …

The so called Store-and-Transfer WDM Network (STWN) can store data in embedded
storage nodes and provision segmented lightpaths under sliding scheduled traffic model at …

In this work, we investigate overlap** shared segment protection under continuous and
TDM-mode sliding scheduled traffic model and compare its performance with that of shared …

This paper proposes a source-based high-speed wavelength-path protection scheme
configuring a tree-shaped backup path in WDM networks. In the proposed scheme, a failure …

While the design and the provisioning of survivable optical networks have already been
studied for a long time, networks across the world are still experiencing a phenomenal …
