Improving the dual-failure restorability in scheduled WDM mesh networks

Backup path reprovisioning and activation planning (RAP) scheme is investigated in survivable WDM mesh networks providing shared path protection under scheduled traffic. Results show that over 70% dual-failure restorability benefits are achieved when the RAP is applied.
