Paper Abstract
As a special case of p cycles, a Hamiltonian cycle protection scheme is proposed to achieve fast failure restoration and simple management in fault-tolerant networks. We extend the idea of a Hamiltonian cycle protection scheme to fault-tolerant wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) optical fiber networks, and propose a new Heuristic Hamiltonian cycle protection algorithm (HHCPA) to tolerate the single-fiber failure. In the HHCPA, we consider the idea of differentiated protection for different-level demands, i.e., high-level demands with protection requirements and low-level demands without protection requirements. We also develop the link-cost function to achieve the load balancing and proper link selection in computing the light paths for each demand to effectively reduce the backup wavelength consumption. Simulation results show that, compared to conventional algorithm, the HHCPA can obtain significant performance improvement in resource utilization ratio and blocking probability.
