Introduction to Optical Fault Management

In this chapter we introduce the survivable network design framework and identify the design goals of survivable network planning (i.e., resource efficiency and fault management complexity), and the trade-off between these objectives is discussed in protection and restoration approaches. A short summary on network faults and the shared risk link group model is presented, followed by a discussion of the phases of GMPLS-based fault recovery, and at the end of the chapter a brief summary is given.
