Abstract :
In this paper, we present a protection and provisioning framework to provide network survivability in IP/WDM networks based on GMPLS. This framework is based on a clustering technique called blocking island paradigm. We take into the combined topology and resource availability knowledge on the IP and WDM layer to optimize the performance of the framework. We show it is a general framework and verify its effectiveness through simulations.
