Abstract

Aiming at the vulnerability propagation of all-optical networks, combining with the characteristics of the all-optical network, a formal modeling and analysis method for vulnerability propagation based on Bio-PEPA is proposed in this paper. First of all, the main characteristics that influence the vulnerability propagation are analyzed. Then, the optical fibers, optical amplifiers and optical switches are abstract into three different clusters, and the propagation behavior of vulnerability in intra-cluster and inter-cluster are described accurately. In addition, Ordinary Differential Equations is used for model parsing. Finally, through testing the main factors of vulnerability propagation, such as the number of nodes with potential vulnerability, system detection and repair rate, it is shown that the model constructed in this paper can reflect the vulnerability propagation trend of all-optical networks reasonably. At the same time, the proposed method can avoid the state space explosion problem of traditional modeling methods.
