Abstract
The availability requirements placed on core communication networks have been rapidly increasing. As the value of the traffic served by these core networks has increased so has the impact of failure. Demand-wise shared protection (DSP) was developed to provide failure survivability in the network that was more efficient than concurrently routing two paths of traffic (1+1 APS), yet was more straightforward to manage than more complex schemes. The DSP model was adapted to ensure, in addition to 100% single failure survivability, a specified minimum level of dual-failure restorability. The effect of enforcing dual-failure restorability in DSP networks was evaluated in terms of cost and overall increases in availability. Counter-intuitively, it was found that in some cases, requiring some specified dual-failure restorability levels can result in decreased availability. DSP was effectively adapted to ensure dual-failure restorability, however, in order to capitalize on the capacity sharing aspects of the model, networks must be sufficiently well connected.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
