Survivable Routing for WDM Networks: Challenges faced by the South African Service Providers
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses survivable routing for Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) networks. The downside of boosting network capacity through a technology like WDM is increasing network vulnerability. With more than one network operator in South Africa network survivability will be one of the most important and challenging quality of service (QoS) criteria. This paper investigates new network survivability requirements, which need to be incorporated into the network design so that the network will remain connected after a fiber link or node fault.

Issues and Challenges in Next-Generation Mixed-Line-Rate and Energy-Driven Optical WDM Networks
This article summarizes the main challenges that arise, and that need to be addressed in the core optical networks of the next generation, focusing on energy efficiency and awareness, heterogeneity of the traffic and the ever-growing need for transmission capacity. In all-optical mixed line rate (MLR) network, feasibility of a lightpath is determined by the physical layer impairment (PLI) accum...
متن کاملA Novel Protection Guaranteed, Quality of Transmission Aware Routing and Wavelength Assignment Algorithm for All-optical Networks
Transparent All Optical Networks carry huge traffic and any link failure can cause the loss of gigabits of data; hence protection and its guarantee becomes necessary at the time of failure. Many protection schemes were presented in the literature, but none of them speaks about protection guarantee. Also, in all optical networks, due to absence of regeneration capabilities, the physical layer i...

The South African Facilities Management (FM) industry has seen increased operational strategy complexity from single-site contractors providing basic janitorial services to highly integrated and bundled FM service providers. Despite these major changes, very little research has been conducted on evaluating the effectiveness of FM in innovating, integrating and aligning business strategies to a...
متن کاملPolynomial Time Algorithm (PTA) to generate a survivable ring virtual topology for Optical WDM based on the Hamiltonian Circuit Detection Heuristics(HCDH)
The Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA) problem is known to be NP-hard for general Physical Topology (PT) in optical networks. We have analyzed the survivability of the optical network under Survivable Routing and Shared Path Protection (SPP) for various topologies and suggested two survivable RWA algorithms which are shown to perform better under certain performance matrix by simulation. G...
