Flow optimization in IP networks with fast proactive recovery
The post-failure convergence of shortest path routing (SPR) protocols used in IP networks can be too slow to meet the restrictive requirements (i.e. maximum allowable delay, jitter, etc.) of the multimedia services and therefore new protection/restoration mechanisms combined with IP routing are of interest. The article addresses the optimization of three potential rerouting mechanisms based on the IP fast reroute mechanism proposed by Shand and Bryant [1].
