Abstract

The layered architecture of modern communication networks takes advantage of the flexibility of upper layer technology, such as IP, and the high data rates of lower layer technology, such as WDM. In particular, the WDM technology available today can support up to several terabits per second over a single fiber [9], making networks vulnerable to failures, because a failure for even a short period of time can result in a huge loss of data. The main theme of network survivability is to prevent such data loss by provisioning spare resources for recovery. In this chapter, we focus on the impact of layering on network survivability.

Based on “Cross-Layer Survivability in WDM-based Networks,” by K. Lee, E. Modiano and H. Lee which appeared in IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, vol. 19, no. 4, Aug. 2011, and “Reliability in Layered Networks with Random Link Failures,” by K. Lee, H. Lee and E. Modiano which appeared in IEEE INFOCOM 2010, Mar. 2010.c 2011 IEEE.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Although computing the MCLC is NP-Hard [14], for practical purposes, the MCLC of a network is typically upper bounded by some constant, such as the minimum node degree of the logical network.
