Title
Signaling free localization of node failures in all-optical networks
Abstract
Network-wide local unambiguous failure localization (NL-UFL) [1] has been demonstrated as an interesting scenario of monitoring trails (m-trails). It attempts to enable every node to autonomously localize any failure event in the network in a distributed and all-optical manner by inspecting a set of m-trails traversing through the node. This paper investigates the m-trail allocation problem under the NL-UFL scenario by taking each link and node failure event into consideration. Bound analysis is performed using combinatorial group testing (CGT) theory and this is followed by the introduction of a novel heuristic on general topologies. Extensive simulation is conducted to examine the proposed heuristic in terms of the required cover length and the number of m-trails to achieve NL-UFL.
