—This paper presents a scheme in which a dedicated backup network is designed to provide protection from random link failures. Upon a link failure in the primary network, traffi...
—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 ...
As high-speed networks have proliferated across the globe, their topologies have become sparser due to the increased capacity of communication media and cost considerations. Relia...
Tunnel-based networks such as Multi-protocol Label switching (MPLS) are suitable for providing diversity guarantees to different service classes or customers. Based on the number ...
User-controlled circuit-switched optical networks are gaining popularity in an effort to fulfill the insatiable data transport needs of the online community. In this paper we cons...
