Evaluation of Link Protection Schemes in Physically Impaired Optical Networks

Link protection schemes for WDM-based optical networks have been extensively researched. Most work to date has ignored the physical layer impairments (PLIs) that could be dominant in transparent optical networks with long links. In this paper, we first evaluate the performance of two link protection schemes
