Abstract
Failure-protection of Wavelength Division Multiplexing networks is a hot researchtopic today. In this paper we focus on optical path protection in multifiber mesh networks. We present a heuristic method to assign working and protection capacity to a set of static optical-connection requests under the path-disjoint constraint. Routing, fiber and wavelength assignment are jointly performed for all the light-paths with the aim of minimizing the number of fibers in the network. The proposed heuristic approach allows to obtain good suboptimal results compared to the exact integer-linear-programming optimization. We discuss the optimization of particular case-study networks in order to analyze the influence of different link-disjoint-path search algorithms on the final results and of various design criteria.
