An Adaptive Segment Repair in MPLS Protection

We propose a novel adaptive segment repair scheme to improve traditional MPLS (multi-protocol label switching) failure recovery. The proposed mechanism protects one or more contiguous high failure probability links by setup the segment protection dynamically. The adaptive segment repair scheme aims to obtain balance between resource utilization and fast restoration. With the simulation results, the proposed scheme is demonstrated to reduce failure recovery time as well as increase network resources utilization.
