Greedy design of resilient multi-layer networks

In this paper, we propose a deterministic greedy heuristic providing a construction layout for a cost-efficient multi-layer network that is able to carry a given set of traffic demands with and without protection on different layers. We apply the heuristic to different reference network topologies and protection requirements. Evaluations are conducted regarding equipment cost on different layers, blocking probability, path lengths, and number of demands affected by specific failures.
