Survivable networks - Ramesh Bhandari

Survivable Networks: Algorithms for Diverse Routing
provides algorithms for diverse routing to enhance the survivability
of a network. It considers the common mesh-type network and describes
in detail the construction of physically disjoint paths algorithms for
diverse routing. The algorithms are developed in a systematic manner,
starting with shortest path algorithms appropriate for disjoint paths
construction. Key features of the algorithms are optimality and
simplicity. Although the algorithms have been developed for
survivability of communication networks, they are in a generic form,
and thus applicable in other scientific and technical disciplines to
problems that can be modeled as a network.

A notable highlight of this book is the consideration of real-life
telecommunication networks in detail. Such networks are described not
only by nodes and links, but also by the actual physical elements,
called span nodes and spans. The sharing of spans (the actual physical
links) by the network (logical) links complicates the network,
requiring new algorithms. This book is the first one to provide
algorithms for such networks.

Survivable Networks: Algorithms for Diverse Routing is a
comprehensive work on physically disjoint paths algorithms. It is an
invaluable resource and reference for practicing network designers and
planners, researchers, professionals, instructors, students, and
others working in computer networking, telecommunications, and related
fields.
