As the amount of traffic carried is very large, any single failure can be catastrophic. Thus, survivability of a network that refers to a network's capability to provide continuous service in the presence of failures has become crucial in such networks. Communication networks are usually designed to survive single failure. However, in large networks the occurrence of multiple concurrent failures cannot be neglected. Therefore, in this paper we study connection availability in WDM networks assuming failures of any multiplicity. Shared path protection (SPP) scheme is an efficient network recovery mechanism in terms of network resource utilization and in many related works the SPP scheme has been studied to solve a single failure problem. We apply SPP scheme and propose an analytical model for calculation of connection unavailability in WDM mesh networks with multiple failure assumption. We have evaluated our model by simulations and show that the connection unavailability obtained by simulations is very close to the theoretical value obtained by our algorithm, which proves the accuracy of our model","PeriodicalId":208725,"journal":{"name":"2006 International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115603672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More specifically, they provide transparency features allowing routing and switching of data without interpretation or regression of signals within the network. AONs contain only transparent optical components and therefore differ to a large extent from the optical networks currently used. In particular, the behaviors of AON components and architectures bring forth a new set of challenges for network security. As a result, AONs have unique features and requirements in terms of security and quality of service that require a highly targeted approach in terms of network management. This paper presents and analyzes an algorithm for multiple failure localization and identification in AONs. This algorithm utilizes fewer monitoring information than is required by other approaches. As a direct consequence, it offers the benefit of relaxing the high cost and complexity of signal quality monitoring for future AON management solutions. The paper concludes with a discussion tacking into consideration the interaction of this algorithm with typical path recovery schemes","PeriodicalId":208725,"journal":{"name":"2006 International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124995915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several studies tackled the contention resolution in OBS networks; however several issues still need to be addressed such as quality of service (QoS) guarantee, protection and restoration. The separation between the control plane and data plane in OBS networks provides the flexibility needed by next generation networks. However, it raises the complicated calculation problem of the appropriate offset time for each burst to reach its destination without dropping. In this paper, we stress out the QoS guarantee, protection and restoration challenges in OBS networks.
