One of the most promising techniques of network protection ie p-Cycles (pre-planned,
preconfigured-cycles) is reviewed in this paper. In this paper we provide a survey of the …

This paper presents a comprehensive survey for the pre-configured cycle (p-cycle)
protection method which is a relatively new scheme for network survivability with many …

Elastic optical networks (EONs) have been receiving extensive attention because of their
inherent flexibility and the efficiency with which they allocate fiber-bandwidth. For an EON …

This handbook is an authoritative, comprehensive reference on optical networks, the
backbone of today's communication and information society. The book reviews the many …

We propose a new technique for optical-network protection called failure-independent path-
protecting (FIPP) p-cycles. The method is based on an extension of p-cycle concepts to …

The advent of fiber optic transmission systems and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM)
have led to a dramatic increase in the usable bandwidth of single fiber systems. This book …

Transport networks evolved from DCS (Digital Cross-connect Systems)-based mesh
architectures, to SONET/SDH (Synchronous Optical Networking/Synchronous Digital …

p-cycles have been proposed for preprovisioned 1: N protection in optical mesh networks.
Although the protection circuits are preconfigured, the detection of failures and the rerouting …

In this article traffic-engineering issues regarding network survivability, traffic grooming,
impairment-aware routing, virtual-topology engineering, and coordination among multiple …

The concept of p-cycle (preconfigured protection cycle) allows fast and efficient span
protection in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) mesh networks. To design p-cycles for …
