Partial Protection in Networks with Backup Capacity Sharing

Partial Protection in Networks with Backup Capacity Sharing

We develop a novel network protection scheme that guarantees a minimum grade of service upon a link failure by utilizing backup capacity sharing between demands. Our scheme achieves up to 83% reductions in protection resources.
