Design of Resilient WDM Mesh Networks under Robust Resource Provisioning

In the paper, considering the problem of robust resource provisioning in WDM mesh networks under the uncertain traffic matrix (hose model), we design the resilient WDM mesh networks. The strategy of dedicated-path protection is used. We propose two heuristic algorithms whose optimization objective is to minimize total network cost. Some comparisons for these algorithms by simulations, show that the maximal resource utilization (MRU) algorithm has fewer total network cost.
