Abstract

This investigation presents several backup path building schemes for multicast connections in self-healing ATM networks. These restoration schemes are formulated as combinatorial optimization problems in which the objective functions minimize bandwidth usage and the constraints required to satisfy the survivability and physical limitations. Lagrangian based and greedy based heuristic algorithms are also developed to obtain the sub-optimal feasible solutions efficiently. In addition, the Lagrangian lower bounds are used to assess the quality of our heuristic solutions. Moreover, closely examining the gap between the heuristic upper bounds and the Lagrangian lower bounds reveal that the proposed algorithm can efficiently provide a nearly optimal solution for multicast connections in self-healing ATM networks.
