Segment Protection (SP) is an efficient scheme for protection in WDM optical networks. This letter provides algebraic formulations to evaluate SP availability both in the dedicated and shared backup case. The availability models are applied to numerical examples and significant relations between SP availability and relevant connection parameters are identified.
