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.

On the efficacy of GMPLS auto-reprovisioning as a mesh-network restoration mechanism

TL;DR: It is argued from basic considerations, and illustrated with experimental results, that this is an oversimplified view that GMPLS provides a mechanism for physical layer network restoration, wherein all effected node pairs "simply redial their connections" - simultaneously.

A traffic splitting restoration scheme for MPLS network using case-based reasoning

TL;DR: This work considers offline versions of path provisioning and path protection problems for MPLS networks and considers label switch path (LSP)- based protection where, in case of a single LSP failure, all the traffic utilizing the failed link can be rerouted to a pre computed set of paths.
