High efficiency in capacity utilization and fast restoration are two primary goals of survivable design in optical networks. Shared backup path protection has been shown to be effi...
The light-trail architecture provides a novel solution to address IP-centric issues at the optical layer. By incorporating drop and continue functionality, overlaid with a lightwe...

Abstract— In this paper we consider the problem of provisioning spare capacity in two-layer backbone networks using shared backup path protection. First, two spare capacity alloc...
In this paper, we consider the problem of dynamic lightpath protection in survivable WDM networks with single link failure model. Our work concerns in how to dynamically determine...
— This paper describes a novel, ultra-fast heuristic algorithm to address an NP-hard optimization problem. One of its significances is that, for the first time, the paper shows...
