Sommario
Network survivability plays an important role in network design which evaluates the connectivity/availability of networking services after single or multiple failures on networking devices and/or interconnection links. While most of these studies are focused on the survivability of single-layer networks, research on the survivable design of cross-layer networks catches more attention in recent years due to its applications in the design of cloud networks, network function virtualization, and software-defined networks.
In this talk, we discuss the cross-layer routing problems. We first present the survivable cross-layer routing design problem and discuss the concept of protecting spanning tree set. Motivated by the stochastic description of network components’ disruptions and the needs for partial survivable routing, we introduce failure probability and propose a new evaluation metric - the maximal survivable probability of a cross-layer routing. We then show the mathematical formulations as the exact solution approach followed by future research directions on cross-layer routing problems.
