A Survey of Fast Recovery Mechanisms in the Data Plane
TLDR
This survey presents a systematic, tutorial-like overview of packet-based fast-recovery mechanisms in the data plane, focusing on concepts but structured around different networking technologies, from traditional link-layer and IP-based mechanisms, over BGP and MPLS to emerging software-defined networks and programmable data planes.Abstract:
In order to meet their stringent dependability requirements, most modern communication networks support fast-recovery mechanisms in the data plane. While reactions to failures in the data plane can be significantly faster compared to control plane mechanisms, implementing fast recovery in the data plane is challenging, and has recently received much attention in the literature. This survey presents a systematic, tutorial-like overview of packet-based fast-recovery mechanisms in the data plane, focusing on concepts but structured around different networking technologies, from traditional link-layer and IP-based mechanisms, over BGP and MPLS to emerging software-defined networks and programmable data planes. We examine the evolution of fast-recovery standards and mechanisms over time, and identify and discuss the fundamental principles and algorithms underlying different mechanisms. We then present a taxonomy of the state of the art and compile open research questions.read more

On the Feasibility of Perfect Resilience with Local Fast Failover
TL;DR: It is proved that it is impossible to achieve perfect resilience on any non-planar graph, and it is shown that graph families which are closed under the subdivision of links, can allow for simple and efficient failover algorithms which simply skip failed links.

Research of the QoE Fast ReRouting Processes with Differentiated R-Factor Maximization for VoIP-Flows Using the Tensor Model of the Corporate Telecommunication Network
TL;DR: In this paper, a flow-based model of QoE Fast ReRouting is proposed, which is based on the implementation of the single path or multipath routing, the conditions of flow conservation, which are introduced for routing variables that regulate the construction of both primary and backup paths.

QoX: What is it really?
TL;DR: While provisioning of QoS, CoS, GoS, and QoR is related to various aspects of networking and network performance, QoE describes resulting service features as perceived by the customer and Relations between those intrinsic network features and resulting human-experienced quality are discussed.
