Furthermore, broadcasting all the internal informations would unnecessarily overload the network with state messages. We decompose the multi-domain resilience problem into two sub-problems, namely the higher level inter-domain protection, and the lower level intra-domain protection. Building p-cycles at the higher level is accomplished by certain tasks at the lower level including straddling link connection, capacity allocation, and path selection. We show that p-cycles offer high availability and acceptable resource usage without the knowledge of paths that makes p-cycles very good candidate for protecting inter-domain traffic.","PeriodicalId":415896,"journal":{"name":"DRCN 2005).

Throughout the recent years numerous research and development projects, standardisation activities, and a large number of publications have been devoted to fast provisioning enabled optical networks. However, in the related research activities less attention has been paid to network state evolution during provisioning. The main scope of the paper is to propose a consolidation based lifecycle for network design and development of provisioning oriented optical networks in order to improve the performance of networks of this type. The proposal is motivated by the identified inherent lack of capacity efficiency of optical channel provisioning processes.","PeriodicalId":415896,"journal":{"name":"DRCN 2005).

The method is \"event based\" and a relative time scale is adopted. Events include setting up/tearing down optical channels and failure/restoration of network elements. Each connection demand is characterized by its own type of protection, routing strategy and priority, independently of the correspondent attributes of the other demands. The method works in two main modes: Design and Analysis. In Design mode the network is sized according to the offered demand while in the Analysis mode the network resources are assigned beforehand and the behavior of the network (traffic lost in case of lack of resources or failures) can be evaluated. The method is implemented by a computer program based on a new particular representation of the network, specifically conceived to effectively model optical transport networks. The paper will also include an example of design and analysis of a realistic Italian Optical network.","PeriodicalId":415896,"journal":{"name":"DRCN 2005).

In this model, a set of demands is given, and the setup time and teardown time of a demand are known in advance. We formulate the joint routing and wavelength assignment problems into integer linear programs that maximally exploit network resource reuse in both space and time. To solve large problems, the joint RWA problems are divided to a routing subproblem and wavelength assignment subproblems which are then solved individually. The overall objective is to minimize the total number of wavelength-links used by working paths and protection paths of all traffic demands while 100% restorability is guaranteed against any single failures. Our simulation results indicate that the optimization of resource sharing in space and time enabled by our connection-holding-time-aware protection schemes can achieve significantly better resource utilization than schemes that are holding time unaware.","PeriodicalId":415896,"journal":{"name":"DRCN 2005).

Included in this white paper are strategies for the optimal use of existing capital resources, and pragmatic migration steps to ease and facilitate network evolution. With the gradual adoption of new and more intelligent networking technologies, incumbent carriers can accelerate migration toward the more dynamic and data-centric service architectures that will fuel future network growth and increase competitive differentiation. These service architectures must support the cost-effective deployment of new service offerings such as gigabit Ethernet over SDH. Key technology enablers for these agile network architectures, including optical routing and signaling, virtual concatenation (VC: G.707), link capacity adjustment scheme (LCAS: G.7042) and generic framing procedure (GFP: G.7041), are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":415896,"journal":{"name":"DRCN 2005).

In a simple reference model each node is protected by a single dedicated NEPC. In the second model NEPCs can be shared by multiple nodes as needed, and each node is allowed to make use of as many different NEPCs as needed for a capacity-efficient design. To manage the complexity, protection routing is assumed to be evenly split in both directions around the NEPC, resulting in a slight over-provisioning of NEPCs and spare capacity. The final model is the most capacity efficient by virtue of also determining in which direction protection routing should proceed around each NEPC for each light-path affected by a node failure. The models can also permit a specified level of restorability below 100% so that a carrier could offer node-failure restorability on a differentiated service basis. A significant finding is that in test case networks 25% node restorability can be achieved in addition to 100% span restorability with a single integrated set of p-cycles that require as little as 4.1% more spare capacity than for conventional protection only against span-failures.","PeriodicalId":415896,"journal":{"name":"DRCN 2005).
