Introduction • Survivability – the capability of the network to maintain

service continuity in the presence of failures.

• Single Link Failure Model assumes that at most one link failure should be handled in the network.

• Protection is a type of pre-planning process established before a failure occurs.

Tunable survivability• Full survivability - (100%) protection against network single failures. • Establishment of pairs of disjoint paths. • This scheme is often too restrictive.

• Tunable survivability allows any desired degree of survivability in the range 0% to 100%.

• Increase the space of feasible solutions.

• In our work, we focus on the combination of survivability and other QoS additive criteria.• delay, jitter, cost.

Model Formulation

• Network represented by a directed graph, G = (V, E)• : additive QoS target on link e (such as delay, cost, etc)• : failure probability of link e• Given a pair of source and target nodes s and t, a survivable

connection is a pair of paths (not necessarily disjoint).

• The survivability level of is defined:• The probability that all common links are operational• ()• 1 ()

Model Formulation• The weight of can be defined in 2 forms:

• CT - counting the common links twice

• average delay (over the employed paths)

• CO - counting the common links once

• A cost charged for the utilization of the links

Problem Illustration

• Transmission delay can be reduced drastically by slightly alleviating the survivability requirement of the connection.

Conclusion

• Optimization problems combining the survivability level and an additive QoS criteria.

• Characterized fundamental properties of CT-problems.• Established algorithmic schemes.• Comprehensive simulations show the advantage of tunable

survivability.• Our scheme can be implemented in state of the art architectures

such as MPLS.
