Abstract:
In this paper, we investigate the connection availabilities for the new protection scheme Demand-wise Shared Protection (DSP) and describe an appropriate approach for their computation. The exemplary case study on two realistic network scenarios shows that in most cases the availabilities for DSP are comparable with that for 1+1 path protection and better than in case of shared path protection.
