Fault tolerant multiwavelength optical rings with limited wavelength conversion

Abstract
This paper presents methods for recovering from channel failures, link failures, and node failures ina wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) ring network, with limited wavelength conversion capabilitiesat the nodes. Different recovery schemes are presented to handle each type of failure. Each scheme isevaluated based on the network hardware configuration required to support it, and the performance andmanagement overheads associated with fault-recovery.Keywords: Optical networks,...
