Benefits of p-Cycles in a Mixed Protection and Restoration Approach François Blouin, Anthony Sack, Wayne D. Grover, Hadi Nasrallah October 21, 2003 Fourth International Workshop on the Design of Reliable Communication Networks (DRCN 2003)19-22 October 2003 - Banff, Alberta, Canada
Introduction • Multiple protection and restoration methods may co-exist in optical mesh networks • Automatic protection switching (APS), shared backup path protection (SBPP), mesh span restoration, redial, etc. • Benefits of adding p-cycles to a set of these methods? • Benefits of planning network capacity jointly for these methods? New joint planning model
Capacity redundancy vs. Restoration time APS 1+1 Capacity redundancy p-Cycles Mesh Span Restoration Shared Backup Path Protection True Mesh Path Restoration Restoration time
Applications Restoration time requirement Demand mix (example case) 15% ≤ 60 ms 30% ≤ 80 ms 55% ≤ 200 ms Service model Network services Class of Protection (CoP) Restoration time APS 1+1 60 ms p-Cycles 80 ms SBPP 200 ms Fixed CoP selection (without p-cycles) Other possible CoPs, e.g. Unprotected and Redial, not included in analysis.

Planning models Integer Linear Programming general model (AMPL, CPLEX) • Minimal capacity•distance for full restorability under single failures • Selection of fastest CoPs Min Separate optimization (fixed CoP selection) Joint optimization (automatic CoP selection) Upgrade to faster CoP whenever economical Without p-Cycles (benchmark) With p-Cycles With p-Cycles or 3 2 1

Conclusions • p-Cycles could replace APS 1+1 for some traffic demands • where slight restoration time penalty is acceptable
Conclusions • p-Cycles could replace APS 1+1 for some traffic demands • where slight restoration time penalty is acceptable • New capacity planning model allowing automatic selection of protection & restoration method • Upgrade demand to faster CoP whenever economical
Conclusions • p-Cycles could replace APS 1+1 for some traffic demands • where slight restoration time penalty is acceptable • New capacity planning model allowing automatic selection of protection & restoration method • Upgrade demand to faster CoP whenever economical • Mixed protection & restoration: • Adding p-cycles: 1% - 19% capacity savings • Jointly plan all CoPs: 4% - 22% capacity savings • Upgrades to faster CoP: 0 - 45% Provide better service for some traffic without adding capacity
