Summary :

This paper proposes resource management in Layer 1 Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). We have been proposing Layer 1 VPNs that provide layer 1 services to multiple customers over the single optical network with per VPN control and management capabilities. We have proposed two resource management models for Layer 1 VPNs, which constitute different class of services. One is the shared model, where resources are shared among VPNs. The other is the dedicated model, where resources are explicitly pre-assigned to each VPN. In this paper, after introducing an overview of Layer 1 VPNs, we evaluate several path computation algorithms for these two models focusing on the multi layer network scenario. In the shared model, there are several existing studies for non-VPN cases, but considerations for VPN cases are not investigated. This paper evaluates algorithms originally proposed for non-VPN cases for use in VPN cases. Simulation results show that the path computation algorithm that works as saving layer 1 resources achieves better resource sharing effect. In the dedicated model, the problem is identical to non-VPN cases. There is one conventional algorithm, but amount of available resources is not well considered. We propose a novel path computation algorithm. Simulation results show effectiveness of our proposed algorithm against the conventional algorithm. Furthermore, resource usage efficiency of two resource management models is compared. We analyze and propose applicability of resource management models.
