The article first presents a broad overview of the fault management mechanisms involved in
deploying a survivable optical mesh network which employs optical crossconnects. We …

The current trend is to integrate a constantly increasing number of services in the same
communication network. Some services have very high resilience requirements, while other …

A design technique for reliable optical transport networks is presented. The network is first
dimensioned in order to carry a given set of static protected optical connections, each one …

Previous research on survivability with differentiated reliability in wavelength-division-
multiplexing (WDM) optical mesh networks mostly considered the failure probability of a fiber …

Optical networks based on WDM technology have become a promising solution to realize
transport networks that can meet the ever-increasing demand for bandwidth. As WDM …

Optical wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) networks have emerged as an ideal
backbone for the dynamic transport of bandwidth-intensive applications. Most emerging …

With the increase in the size and number of shared risk link groups (SRLGs) in optical
wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) networks, the capacity efficiency of shared-path …

With the increase of size and number of shared risk link groups (SRLGs), capacity efficiency
of shared-path protection becomes much poorer due to SRLG-disjoint constraints and …

This paper investigates the problem of dynamic survivable lightpath provisioning against
single-node/link failures in optical mesh networks employing wavelength-division …

A routing-selection algorithm is important in survivable wavelength-division networks. A
sound algorithm should carefully consider the efficiency of resource utilization and the …
