- Abstract:
- During the last years, several types of network restoration techniques have been proposed and discussed. However it was evaluated that a single restoration technique cannot cover the wide range of customer’s requirements on survivability and economical spare channel assignment. This is due to the fact that each technique has its own feature and properties in terms of restoration time, flexibility, applied network elements and restoration cost. A proposed Alternative Shared Self-healing Ring Algorithm (ASSRA) is placed as substitution in a phase of an algorithm, which use an integrated self-healing technique, based in the principal of evolving more than one restoration techniques. These techniques are Route Diversity (RD), Shared Self-healing Rings (SSR) and Dynamic Self-Healing algorithms. The main scope of this paper is to examine the influence of the proposed ASSRA algorithm in the restoration cost.
