Abstract
In this paper we investigate epidemic failure spreading in large-
scale GMPLS-controlled transport networks. By evaluating the
effect of the epidemic failure spreading on the network, we
design several strategies for cost-effective network performance
improvement via differentiated repair times. First we identify the
most vulnerable and the most strategic nodes in the network.
Then, via extensive simulations we show that strategic
placement of resources for improved failure recovery has better
performance than randomly assigning lower repair times among
the network nodes. Our OPNET simulation model can be used
during the network planning process for facilitating cost-
effective network survivability design.
