: A light-trail is a generalized lightpath that enables multiple nodes to statistically share an optical communication path (wavelength bus). A light-trail is different from a ligh...
The efficient use of network capacity in shared restoration schemes strongly depends upon the path selection procedure. In this paper we propose and evaluate path selection algorit...

—Providing differentiated Quality-of-Protection (QoP) for surviving single-link failures in WDM mesh networks has been extensively studied in recent years. This paper investigate...
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...
