Abstract
Optical networks employing wavelength-division multiplexing and wavelength routing are potential candidates for future wide area networks. Because these networks are prone to component failures and carry a large volume of traffic, maintaining a high level of service availability is an important issue. This article discusses providing tolerance capability to the optical layer in WDM-based transport networks. It presents a survey on restoration schemes available in the literature, explains the operation of these schemes, and discusses their performance.

Optical Network Survivability: Protection Techniques in the WDM Layer

TL;DR: All the main optical protection techniques proposed as far as now for the WDM layer are classified and reviewed and an example of heuristic network-capacity optimization is presented, discussing results obtained by considering a case-study network.

Backup path allocation based on a correlated link failure probability model in overlay networks

TL;DR: The goal is to find a route for the backup path to minimize the joint path failure probability between the primary and the backup paths, and the results show that, in terms of robustness, the approach is near optimal and is up to 60% better than no backup path reservation

Shared Risk Resource Group : Complexity and Approximability Issues

TL;DR: Cases where combinatorial optimization problems are polynomial are identified, for example when the edges of a given color form a connected subgraph, and otherwise hardness and non approximability results for these problems are identified.

When the network crumbles: an empirical study of cloud network failures and their impact on services

TL;DR: This paper describes a large-scale study analyzing and correlating failure events over three years across multiple datacenters and thousands of network elements such as Access routers, Aggregation switches, Top-of-Rack switches, and long-haul links.

Survivable WDM mesh networks. Part I-Protection

TL;DR: This study examines different approaches to protect mesh based WDM optical networks from single-link failures, and formulated integer linear programs to determine the capacity requirements for the above protection schemes for a static traffic demand.

Optical network design and restoration

TL;DR: This paper reports test results for large carrier-scale networks that indicate that subsecond restoration, high capacity efficiency, and scalability can be achieved without fault isolation and with moderate processing.

Survivable WDM mesh networks. II. Restoration

TL;DR: Numerical results obtained by simulating the distributed restoration protocols indicate that, for a representative network topology, path restoration has a better restoration efficiency than link restoration, and link restoration hasA better restoration time compared to path restoration.
