Abstract
We consider virtual optical network (VON) mapping with the objective of minimizing total network link cost while guaranteeing VON availability, where VON availability is supported by providing shared backup path protection for selected VON links. We develop a matrix-based approach for calculating the availability of a VON mapping with shared backup path protection. In order to efficiently evaluate the maximum availability of a VON mapping, we transform the problem to a group node-weighted Steiner tree problem and propose an efficient auxiliary-graph-based availability (AA) algorithm to find a VON mapping with high availability. Based on the availability evaluation, we propose a heuristic algorithm to map the VON, and numerical results show that our algorithms are effective in achieving high availability while reducing the total link cost and the blocking rate.
