Network Service Protection with p-Cycles. Theory, Design, Operation and Evolution

This book presents for the first time a concise, single volume reference to network service protection with p-cycles. Written by Wayne D. Grover, a founding inventor of restorable network design and operation, the book details the advantages that p-cycles combine in one scheme and provides a large number of implementation related strategies, tips, and techniques, helping researchers and practicing engineers with the deployment of p-cycles. Case studies, frequency of diagrams, as well as design tools and software to facilitate real-world engineering and research work are also included.
