TLDR
A method for capacity optimization of path restorable networks which is applicable to both synchronous transfer mode (STM) and asynchronous transfermode (ATM) virtual path (VP)-based restoration and jointly optimizing working path routing and spare capacity placement.
Abstract
The total transmission capacity required by a transport network to satisfy demand and protect it from failures contributes significantly to its cost, especially in long-haul networks. Previously, the spare capacity of a network with a given set of working span sizes has been optimized to facilitate span restoration. Path restorable networks can, however, be even more efficient by defining the restoration problem from an end to end rerouting viewpoint. We provide a method for capacity optimization of path restorable networks which is applicable to both synchronous transfer mode (STM) and asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) virtual path (VP)-based restoration. Lower bounds on spare capacity requirements in span and path restorable networks are first compared, followed by an integer program formulation based on flow constraints which solves the spare and/or working capacity placement problem in either span or path restorable networks. The benefits of path and span restoration, and of jointly optimizing working path routing and spare capacity placement, are then analyzed.

Exploiting Forcer Structure to Serve Uncertain Demands and Minimize Redundancy of p-Cycle Networks

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple but efficient forcer analysis method is proposed specifically for span-restorable networks in general, and the method is also capable of exploiting extra servable working channels given an initial network spare capacity budget designed for pre-existing working capacities.
