This paper extends the spare capacity allocation (SCA) problem from single failures to dual
link failures on mesh-like IP or WDM networks. The SCA problem pre-plans traffic flows with …

We present the design of a dual failure protected elastic optical network (EON) for different
sharing capabilities of protection lightpaths. Routing and spectrum assignment (RSA) is …

This paper proposes a shared precomputed restoration (SPR) mechanism for link failures in
translucent elastic optical networks (EONs). We present SPR with a heuristic algorithm that …

In this paper we present techniques and protocols for protecting a network against multiple
link failures. The existing link-based restoration with MPLS Fast Re-route (FRR) is fast, but …

Reliable transport layer Internet protocols do not satisfy the requirements of packetized, real-
time multimedia streams. The available thesis motivates and defines predictable reliability …

Despite the fact that the Internet Protocol has not been designed to carry real-time media
services at high data rate, such as digital TV in High Definition resolution, it is mean-while …

Recent applications such as broadcast TV distribution over an IP network require that
stringent QoS constraints, such as low latency and loss be met. Streaming content in IPTV is …

A shared backup path protection (SBPP) scheme can be used to protect dual link failures by
pre-planning each traffic flow with mutually disjoint working and two backup paths while …

Survivability of optical networks is considered among the most critical problems that
telecommunications operators need to solve at a reasonable cost. Survivability can be …

configured to receive commonly sourced traffic via primary and secondary Upstream …
