Abstract
This letter introduces a matrix-based approach to connection unavailability estimation in shared backup path protection (SBPP). The proposed approach yields accurate results for networks of national size using simple matrix operations, being therefore suitable for online routing algorithms. The accuracy of the unavailability estimates is verified through simulations.
