GMPLS Network Reliability Enhancement by Using the Dominating Nodes Approach

The impact of the control plane architecture on reliability of the GMPLS network is studied. To improve this reliability, a method based on the graph-theoretical dominating set problem is proposed. Several algorithms to select dominating nodes are presented and evaluated for four different network topologies by using simulation methods. It is shown that the service recovery time can be shortened by using the presented approach.
