Fast K&K Protection Structure Configuration against Multi-Faults in OpenFlow-based Elastic Optical Networks

We present an OpenFlow-based k-regular and k-connected (k&k) structure configuration mechanism for elastic optical networks against concurrent multi-faults. The simulation results show OpenFlow-based configuration has better time performance and flexibility than traditional GMPLS control plane.
