In order to meet their stringent dependability requirements, most modern packet-switched
communication networks support fast-recovery mechanisms in the data plane. While …

Internet outages are inevitable, frequent, opaque, and expensive. To make things worse,
they are poorly understood, while a deep understanding of them is essential for …

As the Internet takes an increasingly central role in our communications infrastructure, the
slow convergence of routing protocols after a network failure becomes a growing problem …

In order to meet their stringent dependability requirements, most modern communication
networks support fast-recovery mechanisms in the data plane. While reactions to failures in …

In this paper we propose the use of multi-topology (MT) routing for network resilience
against link and node failures. We describe the multi-topologies by an n-dimensional vector …

This paper provides a concise and up-to-date survey of major recovery (protection and
restoration) techniques for High Speed (Gbits/s) Next Generation Networks. The survey …

This paper deals with the problem of deploying a PowerLine Communication (PLC) network
over a medium voltage (MV) power grid. The PLC network is used to connect the end nodes …

Most research on network recovery has been centered around two common assumptions
regarding failure characteristics: Failures do not occur simultaneously and failures do mostly …

Multi-Topology routing allows each router in a network to maintain several valid routes to
each destination. This increases the possibilities to spread traffic towards a destination over …

The Internet inter-domain routing protocol, BGP, experiences frequent routing disruptions
such as transient routing loops or loss of connectivity. The goal of this paper is to address …
