A survey of survivability in multi-domain optical networks

Network survivability is becoming an important issue and a topical subject in WDM optical mesh networks. Many works have studied network survivability. However, few works have focused on survivability in multi-domain optical networks. This paper reviews the literature on survivability against failures in multi-domain optical networks. The main objective of this study is to evaluate and analyze existing solutions and to compare their performance in terms of different criteria: resource utilization, ratio of rejected connections and recovery time. Key words: multi-domain, survivability, p-cycle, topology aggregation, optical network
