We show that IP-over-WDM multilayer networks can be designed to guarantee a large majority of the traffic is restored at subsecond timescale, using IP Fast Rerouting techniques. The rationale enforcing OSPF/ECMP balancing on SRG-disjoint lightpaths.
When designing a multilayer IP-over-WDM optical network, an important requirement is finding the most cost-effective design that tolerant of set selected failures arbitrarily defined, so 100% IP traffic survives for them. A second concern need to guarantee maximum end-to-end latency (e.g. 50 ms in continental US). Unfortunately, fault tolerance and at layer are performance merits extremely challenging enforce networks, since they depend on both routing over lightpaths lightpath fibers, how...
