For several decades, optical networks, due to their high capacity and long-distance
transmission range, have been used as the major communication technology to serve …

Disaster-based failures can seriously disrupt any communication network, making its
services unavailable. Such disruptions may be caused by natural disasters, technology …

Among the multipath protection schemes found in the literature, the Partitioning Dedicated
Path Protection—PDPP proposes to divide the total transmission rate required by the …

This paper focuses on how to increase the availability of a backbone network with minimal
cost. In particular, the new framework focuses on resilience against natural disasters and is …

One of the visions of fifth-generation fixed networks (F5G) is to provide a guaranteed reliable
experience (GRE). Optical transport networks (OTNs) represent a primary candidate …

In this paper, we focus on the survivability of elastic optical networks (EONs) that jointly
support two types of traffic demands: unicast and anycast. To provide network survivability …

Communication networks are exposed to a variety of massive failure events following from
activities of nature, weather-induced disruptions, technology-implied problems, and …

In this paper, we focus on the efficient dynamic routing in Spectrally-Spatially Flexible
Optical Networks (ss-fon) realized using Single-Mode Fiber Bundles (smfb s). We study two …

The paper focuses on the efficient dynamic routing of unicast and data center (dc)-related
requests in elastic optical networks (eons) implementing software-defined networking (sdn) …

In recent years, the introduction of new technologies and applications connected to the
Internet has demonstrated the physical incapacity of current optical backbone networks in …
