A novel fault management approach for DWDM optical networks
TLDR
This paper proposes an improvement of the existing protection schemes through the introduction of relative priorities among the different primary connections contending for the access to the protection path, and develops a mathematical model, based on which explicit expressions for the average connection availabilities are derived from both the classical protection schemes and the proposed priority‐aware one.
