{Network planners are often requested to provision multiple physically-diverse high-speed circuits over a large carrier's core (inter-city) DWDM network, which consists of multiple layers and heterogeneous vendor systems. Optimally provisioning such circuits while avoiding shared risk link group (SRLG) failures is an NP-hard problem. In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid two-step approach: pre-processing with Integer Linear Programming (ILP) for diverse routing and post-processing for regenerator placement and wavelength assignment. This approach has been implemented in a prototype network planning tool. According to our experiments, most of the cases for a typical large carrier's core transport network can be solved within 1 minute, even with tens of thousands of binary decision variables, which allows interactive use by network planners.}

{Multimedia distribution, especially broadcast TV distribution over an IP network requires high bandwidth combined with tight latency and loss constraints, even under failure conditions. Due to high bandwidth requirements of broadcast TV distribution, use of IP-based multicast to distribute TV content is needed for capacity efficiency. The protection and restoration mechanisms currently adopted in IP backbones use either IGP re-convergence or some form of Fast Reroute. The IGP re-convergence mechanism is too slow for real-time multimedia distribution while a drawback of fast reroute is that since they re-route traffic on a link-basis (instead of end-to-end) they can suffer traffic overlap during failures. Here traffic overlap is defined as the same traffic passing through the same link along the same direction more than once, which requires more link capacity. We propose a method that interacts with Fast Reroute and multicast to minimize traffic overlap during failures. We also present an algorithm for link-weight setting that avoids traffic overlap for any single link failure. Performance analysis shows that the proposed method improves network service availability and significantly reduces the impact of failure events. version 2 record added in error; please see version 1 for paper. }

Method For Restoration And Normalization In A Mesh Network,
July 5, 2011
The present invention is directed to methods for signaling that enable bandwidth reservation, path restoration, path normalization, and path removal in a mesh network that supports shared mesh restoration.
System And Method For Restoration In A Multimedia IP Network,
November 9, 2010
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer readable media for modifying IP backbone link weights such that multicast traffic and unicast traffic will not travel on a same path between nodes. The method comprises assigning link weights to nodes within an IP backbone such that multicast forwarding paths and unicast forwarding paths are failure disjoint, and delivering undelivered multicast packets using IP unicast encapsulation to the loopback address of next hop router on a multicast tree upon link/interface failure.

Method And Apparatus For Automatically Constructing Application Signatures,
November 17, 2009
The present invention relates to a method and system for the automated construction of application signatures. In one example, an approach for automatically constructing accurate signatures for individual applications, with minimal human involvement or application domain knowledge, is provided. Given a training data set containing the application traffic, the Automated Construction of Application Signatures (ACAS) system uses a combination of statistical, information theoretic and combinatorial optimization techniques, to derive application-layer signatures from the payload of packets, e.g., IP packets. Evaluations with a range of applications demonstrate that the derived signatures are very accurate and scale to identifying a large number of flows in real time on high-speed links.
System And Method For Routing Packet Traffic,
November 3, 2009
A system and method for routing packet traffic is disclosed. A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a router having a routing element that routes packet traffic according to Internal Gateway Protocol (IGP) weights that prevent multicast packet traffic and unicast packet traffic from occupying a common unidirectional link. Other embodiments are disclosed.
