Shared protection in mesh WDM networks.

Shared protection in mesh WDM networks.

This article introduces the design principles and state-of-the-art progress in developing survivable routing schemes for shared protection in mesh WDM networks. This article first gives an overview of the diverse routing problem for both types of protection in mesh networks, path-base and segment sh...
