Pool-Capacity Design Scheme for Efficient Utilizing of Spare Capacity in Self-Healing Networks
Summary :
The self-healing capability against network failure is one of indispensable features for the B-ISDN infrastructure. One problem in realizing such self-healing backbone network is the inefficient utilization of the large spare capacity designed for the failure-restoration purpose since it will be used only in the failure time that does not occur frequently. "Pool-capacity" is the concept that allows some VPs (virtual paths) to efficiently utilize this spare capacity part. Although the total capacity can be saved by using the "Pool Capacity," it is paid by less reliability of VPs caused by the emerging influence of indirect-failure. Thus, this influence of indirect-failure has to be considered in the capacity designing process so that network-designers can trade off the saving of capacity with the reliability level of VPs in their self-healing networks. In this paper, Damage Rate:DR which is the index to indicate the level of the influence caused by indirect-failure is defined and the pool-capacity design scheme with DR consideration is proposed. By the proposed scheme, the self-healing network with different cost (pool-capacity) can be designed according to the reliability level of VPs.
