Shared path protection with differentiated reliability

چکیده
In [1], [2] the authors introduced the concept of Differentiated Reliability (DiR) applied to dedicated path protection (DPP) switching in Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) rings. By means of the DiR concept, a network can be designed to provide multiple degrees of reliability and efficiently satisfy the user-specific requirements, yet minimizing the network total cost. This paper extends the DiR concept to the case of Shared Path Protection (SPP) switching in arbitrary (mesh) topology, the so called SPP-DiR. A time efficient algorithm is proposed to determine the primary and backup path of each demand in both conventional SPP and SPP-DiR (WDM) networks. When compared to DPP, results obtained for the Pan-European network by using the proposed algorithm indicate cost reductions of about 16% when SPP is applied, and up to 34% when SPP-DiR is applied.

Resource-efficient path-protection schemes and online selection of routes in reliable WDM networks
The optimal choice of routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) for the working and protection path–pair of the newly generated demand request is often a complex problem in reliable wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) networks subject to dynamic traffic. The challenge is twofold: how to provide the required reliability level without over-reserving network resources and how to find a good soluti...
متن کاملDynamic segment shared protection algorithm for reliable wavelength-division-multiplexing mesh networks.
With the maturation of the technology of Wavelength-Division-Multiplexing (WDM) in optical networks, the survivable design has become a key issue. In this paper, we propose a Segment Shared Protection Algorithm (SSPA), which is based on the reliability of the networks and the different levels of the fault tolerance requested by the users, to protect the single-link failure in WDM optical networ...

In this paper, we have proposed a restricted shared protection (RSP) scheme that provides restriction on the sharing of some of the backup light paths to increase the reliability of the protection in optical network. From the reliability theory, we have proved that the reliability in RSP network is more than that of existing shared protection (SP) network. As failure rate increases, the reliabi...

This paper investigates the problem of dynamic survivable lightpath provisioning against single node/link failures in optical mesh networks employing wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM). We present a new approach to provisioning lightpath requests according to their differentiated quality-of-protection (QoP) requirements. We focus on one of the most important QoP parameters, namely protectio...
