Abstract :
We propose two approaches for provisioning survivable virtual-concatenated connections in data-over-SONET/SDH networks. Our approaches exploit the tradeoff between resource overbuild and protection-switching time while utilizing the route-splitting feature of virtual concatenation to increase backup sharing.
