Game theory based inter-domain protection in multi-domain optical networks

Abstract

This paper develops the multi-domain optical network model with considering multiple QoS parameters, present a game model to find the optimal solution, and propose an Inter-domain End-to-end Protection (IEP) that uses a Bacterial Colony Optimization (BCO) algorithm and a heuristic algorithm to solve survivability in intra-domain routing and inter-domain routing, respectively. Simulation results show that IEP performs better than traditional algorithm.
