Protection Design for IP/MPLS over WDM Networks Considering Link Load Balance
To obtain partial information of network's resources
which indicates what fraction of each link's bandwidth
is currently used by working paths
and is used by protection paths
is feasible in IP over WDM(Wavelength Division Multiplex) networks using MPLS technology.In this partial information scenario
this paper proposes a new dynamic routing algorithm of protection design for IP over WDM networks.For working paths selection
the algorithm makes a tradeoff between the routing costs and the corresponding transmitting length.As for protection paths selection
a tradeoff between the sharing of the protection paths and the associated transmitting length is made.Simulation results show that the developed load balance based algorithm performs very well in terms of performance metrics such as the number of rejected requests and the network link load balance.
