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.

Comparing restoration concepts using optimal network configurations with integrated hardware and routing decisions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the impact of link and path restoration on the cost of telecommunication networks and showed that the cost for an optimal network configuration is almost independent of the restoration concept if (i) the installation of network elements (ADMs, DXCs, or routers) and interface cards, (ii) link capacities, and (iii) working and restoration routings are simultaneously optimized.

On-line routing of MPLS tunnels with time-varying bandwidth profiles

TL;DR: The paper shows that the a priori knowledge of the per-demand traffic profiles, still within a fixed routing framework, can be exploited to achieve a sensible bandwidth saving, and/or to differentiate bandwidth provisioning on a per-hour basis.
