Abstract-This paper presents a study of connection availability in GMPLS over Optical Transport Networks (OTN) taking into account different network topologies. Two basic path protection schemes are considered and compared with the no protection case. The selected topologies are heterogeneous in geographic coverage, network diameter, link lengths, and average node degree. Connection availability is also computed considering the reliability data of physical components and a well-known network availability model. Results show several correspondences between suitable path protection algorithms and several network topology characteristics.
The effect of topology properties on connection availability in Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) over optical transport networks is studied in REF .
