Enhanced pool sharing: a constraint-based routing algorithm for shared mesh restoration networks [Invited]
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Feature Issue on Next-Generation WDM Network Design and Routing (WDMN). We investigate the availability performance of networks with shared mesh restoration and demonstrate that these networks cannot provide highly available protection services. A major factor in the poor performance of shared mesh restoration is that the resources at backup links are shared among demands. If multiple service-affecting failures occur in the network a multitude of these demands will rush to utilize the spare resources on backup links. These resources are not adequate to serve all of these demands simultaneously. We propose a heuristic routing algorithm that attempts to improve the availability performance of shared mesh restoration. We measure the likelihood that a backup link will not be available to restore a newly arrived demand if or when more than one failure occurs in the network. We adjust the backup bandwidth on that link if the measured likelihood exceeds a preset threshold. As a typical representative, we show that the downtime improves by 7%, 11%, and 18% when the total backup bandwidth in the network is increased by 5%, 10%, and 20%, respectively. These values are obtained through a series of fitting experiments.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
