Survivable Time-Domain Wavelength Interleaved Networks

In this paper, we study the cost of the protection of Time-Domain Wavelength Interleaved Network (TWIN), an optical burst switching technology for transport networks with active edges and passive core. We propose a network dimension- ing by considering the resource allocation and routing and wave- lengths assignment. The proposed survivable TWIN avoids using lower layer protection techniques, which may strongly impact the fiber length distribution, and thus the associated scheduling mechanism, inside the different multipoint-to-point trees. We proposed a new integer linear programs (ILPs) formulation for minimizing th
