Lightpath restoration in WDM optical networks.

Optical networks employing wavelength-division multiplexing and wavelength routing are potential candidates for future wide area networks. Because these networks are prone to component failures and carry a large volume of traffic, maintaining a high level of service availability is an important issu...
