Abstract— This paper studies the problem of designing survivable optical wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) networks. A wavelength-routed wide area backbone network supporting...
Advanced optical networks deploy wavelength division multiplexing technology to transport an unprecedented amount of information per fiber. Each optical channel transports informat...
- In this work, we study the problem of maximizing lightpath reliability in optical mesh networks against simultaneous failures of multiple fiber links without using protection sch...
