Abstract

See full text

A method for restoring a virtual path, provisioned between a source and a target node, in a zoned mesh optical network is described. The method, in one embodiment, allocates a primary and a secondary physical path to the virtual path. The two physical paths are network element and link disjoint. In case of a failure in one physical path, the end nodes switch the virtual path to the other physical path.
