Resilience, Survivability and-for Autonomicity in IPv6 Networks

This paper presents the final results achieved within EFIPSANS project on the topic of Resilience, Survivability and/for Autonomicity in IPv6 Networks. In particular, the outcome of the investigation of the following topics is presented: adaptive level of recovery, unified architecture for autonomic routing resilience, unified architecture for autonomic faultmanagement resilience and survivability in self-managing networks, as well as network resilience through autonomic reroute mechanism enhanced with multi-path node-to-node cooperation. The described ideas are supported with exhaustive descriptions and analyses featuring extensive validation results aimed to prove the applicability of the proposed concepts.
