: In this paper, we investigate the problem of routing lightpaths on an arbitrary physical topology following a Design Protection approach, such that virtual topology remains conne...
—We introduce a novel protection scheme, called Cooperative Fast Protection (CFP), to fight against a single link failure in survivable WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) mes...
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...
