We address the design problem of a reliable network. Previous work assumes that link
failures are independent. We discuss the impact of dropping this assumption. We show that …

Routing and wavelength assignment under availability constraints has been extensively
researched recently. Availability (or more precisely, steady-state availability) can be defined …

Network resilience is an issue of deep concern to network operators being eager to deploy
high-capacity fibre networks, since a single failure in the network could result in significant …

In this paper, we present two adaptive schemes, namely, global differentiated availability-
aware provisioning (G-DAP) and link-by-link differentiated availability-aware provisioning …

A fast simulation technique based on importance sampling is developed for the analysis of
path service availability in mesh networks with dynamic path restoration. The method …

Analytical Bounds on the Unavailability of Protected Connections in WDM Optical Networks
Page 1 IEEE COMMUNICATIONS LETTERS, VOL. 11, NO. 11, NOVEMBER 2007 901 …

Survivability is a critical issue in high-capacity wavelength division multiplexing based
optical networks, since even a disruption for a very short time could result in the loss of a …

Novel automatized management systems for optical WDM networks promise to allow
customers asking for a connection (ie, a bandwidth service) to specify on-demand the terms …

Availability, defined as the fraction of time a network service is operative, is a key network
service parameter. Dedicated protection increases availability but also the cost. Shared …

We consider the problem of survivable network design in traffic-groomed optical WDM mesh
networks that support subwavelength capacity connections. In typical survivable network …
