Resiliency to link failures in optical networks is becoming increasingly important due to the increasing data rate in the fiber. Path protection schemes attempt to guarantee a bac...
In this paper, a novel approximate link-state dissemination framework, called TROP, is proposed for shared backup path protection (SBPP) in Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) ne...
Under the hypothesis of single failures in the network, some backup paths cannot be active at the same time because they protect against the failure of different components. Hence...

— The advances in wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) technology are expected to facilitate bandwidth-intensive multicast applications. A single fiber failure in such a netwo...
Abstract— This paper studies the problem of designing survivable optical wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) networks. A wavelength-routed wide area backbone network supporting...
