文摘Survivability is one of the important issues in ATM-based networks since even a single network element failure may cause a serious data loss. This paper introduces a new restoration mechanism based on multi-layer ATM survivable network management architecture. This mechanism integrates the general control and restoration control by establishing the Working VPs logical network, Backup VPs logical network and spare logical network in order to optimally utilize the network resources while maintaining the restoration requirements.
