Currently, dedicated path protection (or 1 + 1) is implemented in backbone networks to provide the necessary resilience and instantaneous recovery against single link failures with remarkable simplicity. However, in order to satisfy strict availability requirements, connections also have to be resilient against Shared Risk Link Group (SRLG) failures. In addition, switching matrix reconfigurations have to be avoided after a failure in order to guarantee instantaneous recovery. For this purpose, there are several possible realization strategies improving the characteristics of traditional 1 + 1 path protection by lowering reserved bandwidth while conserving all its favorable properties. These methods either utilize diversity coding, network coding, or generalize the disjoint-path constraint of 1 + 1. In this paper, we consider the cost aspect of the traditional and the alternative 1 + 1 realization strategies. We evaluate the bandwidth cost of different schemes both analytically and empirically in realistic network topologies. As the more complex realizations lead to NP-complete problems even in the single link failure case, we propose both Integer Linear Programming (ILP) based optimal methods, as well as heuristic and meta-heuristic approaches to solve them. Our findings provide a tool and guidelines for service providers for selecting the path protection method with the lowest bandwidth cost for their network corresponding to a given level of reliability. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

In such failure localization problems the optical network is usually represented by a graph, where the task is to form connected edge sets, so-called monitoring trails (m-trails), in a way that the failure of a link causes the failure of such a combination of m-trails, which unambiguously identifies the failed link. Every m-trail consumes a given amount of resources (like bandwidth, detectors, amplifiers, etc.). Thus, operators of optical network may prefer a set of paths, whose paths can be established in an easy and cost-effective way, while minimizing the interference with the route of the existing demands, i.e. may maximize the revenue. In this paper, unlike most existing techniques dealing with failure localization in this context, the presently proposed method considers a predefined set of paths in the graph as m-trails. This way the task can also be formulated as a special Set Covering Problem (SCP), whose general form is a frequently used formulation in a certain type of operations research problems (e.g. resource assignment). Since for the SCP task evolutionary algorithms, like Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), has been successfully applied in the operations research field, in this work the failure localization task is solved by using ACO on the SCP formulation of the described covering problem, which is a rather unique combination of approaches of different fields (telecommunication, operations research and evolutionary computation) placing our investigation in the multi-field scope of complex systems.}, year = {2013}, pages = {394-399}, orcid-numbers = {Kóczy, T.

One way to achieve this is to use a restoration method that provides relatively fast restoration calculated upon a failure, where nearly the minimal amount of resources is allocated. In this paper we propose a new, faster way of restoring multicast demands after link failure that is based on preplaning. We prove its optimality if a few preconditions hold. To do so a new formalization of the wavelength graph transformation (WGT) is presented. We show, based on simulations, that the beneficial properties of our method hold even when one or more preconditions are not kept. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

However, in the near future, this will still not be possible due to technical constraints and backward compatibility. In the meantime, operators may decide to reserve a given percent of their power budget for all-optical routing, while the rest of the budget is used as it is done now. This introduces a new, additional problem. Namely, operators have to select which demands should be routed in all-optical way. This problem is even more complex for demands that need protection. In this paper, we present a method that may help the operators to maximize the number of demands with protection routed in all-optical way.
