Abstract :
We investigate the deployment of p-cycles (preconfigured protection cycles) in WDM mesh networks with and without wavelength conversion. We develop optimization models for the configuration of the cycles and apply these on a case study for a pan-European network. The results in particular for wavelength converting networks show that p-cycles achieve high efficiency.
