Evaluation of Dedicated Path Protection Schemes in All-Optical Network under

Survivability schemes for optical backbone and access networks

“…As for the path-protection, dedicated-path protection requires the backup path to be exclusively reserved by the primary working path. Some dedicated-path protection schemes are described and evaluated in [20], [21], [22]. Compared with dedicated-path protection, shared-path protection can increase the capacity efficiency [23], [24], [25].…”
