Recently there has been interest in DWDM-based optical networks that are assumed to employ exactly two working fibers uniformly on every span (or "li...
This article first presents a broad overview of the fault management mechanisms involved in deploying a survivable optical mesh network, employing op...
This article deals with the fundamentals and current standardization efforts for IEEE 802.17 Resilient Packet Ring. Its special resilience features m...
Providing fault tolerance to multicast connections is an important and challenging requirement of future networks. The existing techniques for fault-...
Typically IP networks respond to a link failure by finding an alternate traffic path after the failure is discovered. This results in a convergence t...
