A novel provisioning framework for dual-node interconnected SONET/SDH rings

We present a new approach to provision connections in a network of dual-node interconnected rings. Our approach satisfies the unique constraints imposed by SONET/SDH standards and is very useful for reducing link capacity fragmentation.
