Résumé
In this paper, we study the node and link protection using p-cycles for dynamic multicast sessions in alloptical DWDM networks. First, we propose a new concept for protecting nodes of light-trees under the sparse light-splitting and wavelength continuity constraints. Then, we integrate our concept in a novel algorithm, named node and link protecting candidate p-cycles based algorithm with sparse light-splitting constraints (NPCC-SSC). Our algorithm enables both node and link failure recovery in dynamic multicast traffic. Extensive simulations show that the NPCC-SSC algorithm achieves the best resource utilization, and outperforms the existing approaches in terms of blocking probability and computational time.
