Comparison of Network Protection in Three-Layer IP/MPLS-over-OTN-over-DWDM Networks

In multilayer networks, protection can be accomplished in any of the layers. However, which layer to protect most remains an important problem. In this paper, we consider a three-layer with IP/MPLS-over-OTN-over-DWDM in which we consider an optimization modeling framework incorporating modularization of its capacity for protection in any layer. Our resulting study, conducted on two topologies, shows that the cost ratio of different layers is an important factor in answering this question, as well as the actual modular values of the capacity used. Furthermore, we found that the cost providing protection in the OTN layer is highly influenced by the network connectivity.
