Abstract
This paper proposes a distributed restoration method for mesh networks of optical cross-connects (OXCs) that is competitive with SONET ring restoration speeds. This approach is especially adapted to OXCs with optic fabrics where electronic signal performance or fault detection is available only at add/drop ports.
