Software defined networking (SDN) decouples the control plane from the data plane of
forwarding devices. This separation provides several benefits, including the simplification of …

Network survivability endeavors to ensure the uninterrupted provisioning of services by the
network operators in case of a disaster event. Studies and news reports show that network …

With the frequent occurrences of natural disasters damaging large portions of
communication networks and the rising risk of intentional attacks, network vulnerability to …

The advent of fiber optic transmission systems and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM)
have led to a dramatic increase in the usable bandwidth of single fiber systems. This book …

This paper presents a scheme in which a dedicated backup network is designed to provide
protection from random link failures. Upon a link failure in the primary network, traffic is …

Notice of Violation of IEEE Publication Principles" Restoration of the Network for Next
Generation (5G) Optical Communication Network" by D. Kumar, Ashutosh Sharma, Rajiv …

This paper proposes a backup network design scheme that can determine backup link
capacity in practical time. The proposed scheme suppresses the required backup link …

We consider path-based protection methods for two-link failures in mesh optical networks.
Two link-disjoint backup paths are pre-computed for each source and destination node pair …

Network service recovery from multiple correlated failures is a major concern given the
increased level of infrastructure vulnerability to natural disasters, massive power failures …

As networks grow in size and complexity, both the probability and the impact of failures
increase. The pre-allocated backup bandwidth, which has been widely investigated in the …
