Abstract

In this paper, we have investigated the problem of enhancing multiple-fault restorability in the path protected wavelength-routed all-optical WDM networks. The system architecture considered is circuit-switched with dynamic arrival of session requests. We have proposed a mechanism, which is used to combat multiple link failures. A survivable routing and wavelength assignment algorithm has been proposed which is very efficient for the networks having multiple failures. This algorithm deals with the optical networks with multiple faults and is effective for the varying load applied to nodes. This algorithm works well for the load applied to the nodes varying from low to high.
