Abstract
Network operators must deal with Classes of Service (CoS), which have several quality requirements, such as latency, bandwidth/capacity, priority, etc. Besides, it is observed an increase in the volume of traffic that is offered to the transport network. This traffic can be affected by network natural disasters or human-made attacks. In this case, network operators must decide which services to restore, considering their different requirements. In this work, we present a Lightpath Selection Algorithm (LSA) that aims to select lightpaths to be restored after a resource crunch. This algorithm has a multicriteria decision approach considering CoS, Bandwidth, number of Hops, and Holding time. Moreover, service degradation is also considered for those lightpaths that can not be restored with full bandwidth. Results show that our proposed algorithm can improve network restorability and availability without penalizing low-level CoSs.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management will publish (online only) peerreviewed archival quality papers that advance the state-of-the-art and practical applications of network and service management. Theoretical research contributions (presenting new concepts and techniques) and applied contributions (reporting on experiences and experiments with actual systems) will be encouraged. These transactions will focus on the key technical issues related to: Management Models, Architectures and Frameworks; Service Provisioning, Reliability and Quality Assurance; Management Functions; Enabling Technologies; Information and Communication Models; Policies; Applications and Case Studies; Emerging Technologies and Standards.
