Abstract

In this paper, we solve the survivable routing problem in dynamic WDM mesh networks under the framework of Short Leap Shared Protection (SLSP). A novel algorithm called Cascaded Diverse Routing (CDR) is proposed. We also demonstrate a novel approach to solving the diverse routing problem in networks with dynamic traffic for the purpose of shared protection, called Iterative Two-Step-Approach (ITSA). Simulation is conducted using four different networks (22-, 30-, 79-, 100-node) for a comparison between ordinary shared protection schemes and the SLSP scheme. Simulation results show that the best performance can be achieved with well-designed diameter of protection domains for every connection request according to the size and topology of the network.
