Nowadays the self-healing techniques in ATM VPX（ VP cross-connect） networks are highlycondidered. However in previous liteialure

the normal control and self-healing control are separately investigat-ed. In this paper

integrated control strategies for ATM VPX survivable networks are proposed

which combine thenormal control and self-healing control in a unified way to reduce the control complexity . Through computer sim-ulation

the operationability and validity of these strategies are verified . These strategies are able to operate underboth normal conditions and catastrophic failure situations.These strategies will make it possible to plan and de-sign cost-effective survivable networks.
