The rapid reconstruction of a transfer path is caused by frequent secession of nodes in many applications using overlay multicast. For this, however, many studies have been proposed, but a study of fast path recovery is required. This paper proposes a new method for fast path recovery to improve the path reconstruction time and for stable path maintain caused by the sudden secession of the parent node on overlay multicast. The proposed method uses the virtual transfer path and the candidate parent node for the fast path recovery. All nodes exchange periodically the RTT (Round Trip Time) information between the other nodes of similar position itself and neighboring node. All nodes have a candidate parent node list, and each node stores the exchanged RTT information on the list. Each node constructs the virtual transfer path to reduce the recovery time after deciding a candidate parent node that is one of them by the RTT order. In this way, when the parent node is seceded, all nodes can recover the transfer path quickly using the virtual transfer path. The simulation result showed that the recovery time of the proposed method is an average 30% faster than the known method.

We propose a new multipath-based reliable routing protocol on MANETs, Multipath-based Reliable routing protocol with Fast-Recovery of failures (MRFR). For reliable message transmission, MRFR tries to find the most reliable path between a source and a destination considering the end-to-end packet reception reliability of the routes. The established path consists of a primary path that is used to transmit messages, and the secondary paths that are used to recover the path when detecting failures on the primary path. After establishing the path, the source transmits messages through the primary path. If a node detects a link failure during message transmission, it can recover the path locally by switching from the primary to the secondary path. By allowing the intermediate nodes to locally recover the route failure, the proposed protocol can handle the dynamic topological change of the MANETs efficiently. The simulation result using the QualNet simulator shows that the MRFR protocol performs better than other protocols in terms of the end-to-end message delivery ratio and fault-tolerance capability.

In this paper, we propose a packet-lossless fast rerouting scheme at a link/node fault in MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) network with minimized accumulated buffer delay problem at ingress node. The proposed scheme uses a predefined, alternative LSP (Label Switched Path) In order to restore user traffic. We propose two restoration approaches. In the first approach, an alternative LSP is initially allocated with more bandwidth than the protected working LSP during the failure recovery phase. After the failure recovery, the excessively allocated bandwidth of the alternative LSP is readjusted to the bandwidth of the working LSP. In the second approach, we reduce the length of protected working LSP by using segment-based restoration. The proposed approaches have merits of (ⅰ) no buffer delay problem after failure recovery at ingress node, and (ⅱ) the smaller required buffer size at the ingress node than the previous approach.

With the fast growth of Internet and a new widespread interest in optical networks, the unparalleled potential of Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is leading to further research and development efforts. One of those areas of research is Path Protection Mechanism. It is widely accepted that layer three protection and recovery mechanisms are too slow for today’s reliability requirements. Failure recovery latencies ranging from several seconds to minutes, for layer three routing protocols, have been widely reported. For this reason, a recovery mechanism at the MPLS layer capable of recovering from failed paths in 10’s of milliseconds has been sought. In light of this, several MPLS based protection mechanisms have been proposed, such as end-to-end path protection and local repair mechanism. Those mechanisms are designed for intra-domain recoveries and little or no attention has been given to the case of non-homogenous independent inter-domains. This paper presents a novel solution for the setup and maintenance of independent protection mechanisms within individual domains and merged at the domain boundaries. This innovative solution offers significant advantages including fast recovery across multiple nonhomogeneous domains and high scalability. Detailed setup and operation procedures are described. Finally, simulation results using OPNET are presented showing recovery times of a few milliseconds.

This paper proposes a new multipath-based routing protocol on MANETs with Fast-Recovery of failures. The proposed protocol establishes the primary and secondary paths between a source and a destination considering the end-to-end packet reception reliability of routes. The primary path is used to transmit messages, and the secondary path is used to recover the path when detecting failures on the primary path. If a node detects a link failure during message transmission, it can recover the path locally by switching from the primary to the secondary path. By allowing the intermediate nodes to recover locally the route failure, the proposed protocol can reduce the number of packet loss and the amount of control packets for setting up new paths. The simulation result using QualNet simulator shows that the proposed protocol was about 10-20% higher than other protocols in terms of end-to-end message delivery ratio and the fault recovery time in case of link fault was about 3 times faster than the other protocols.

Cognitive Radio (CR) has been recently proposed as a promising technology to remedy the problems of spectrum scarcity and spectrum underutilization by enabling unlicensed users to opportunistically utilize temporally unused licensed spectrums in a cautious manner. In Cognitive Radio Ad Hoc Networks (CRAHNs), data routing is one of the most challenging tasks since the channel availability and node mobility are unpredictable. Moreover, the network performance is severely degraded due to large numbers of path failures. In this paper, we propose the Fault-Tolerant Cognitive Ad-hoc Routing Protocol (FTCARP) to provide fast and efficient route recovery in presence of path failures during data delivery in CRAHNs. The protocol exploits the joint path and spectrum diversity to offer reliable communication and efficient spectrum usage over the networks. In the proposed protocol, a backup path is utilized in case a failure occurs over a primary transmission route. Different cause of a path failure will be handled by different route recovery mechanism. The protocol performance is compared with that of the Dual Diversity Cognitive Ad-hoc Routing Protocol (D2CARP). The simulation results obviously prove that FTCARP outperforms D2CARP in terms of throughput, packet loss, end-to-end delay and jitter in the high path-failure rate CRAHNs.

As an increase in recent optical network-based IP services, GMPLS management framework becomes more important than ever before. In this paper, we propose the dynamic GMPLS path management algorithm, which can satisfy the users with their traffic engineering recovery requirements and find out the best backup service path under multiple link failures. To be more specific, we are deriving the soluble conditions of a backup path which is satisfied in a GMPLS network. In addition, through proposing the fast backup path selection algorithm, we can sufficiently satisfy a user's recovery requirement and minimally protect the suspension of the service against a link failure.

In this paper, we deal with performance evaluation of visual path following using 2D and 3D information. Visual path follow first teaches driving path by selecting milestone images then follows the same route by comparing the milestone image and current image. We follow the visual path following algorithm of [8] and [10]. In [8], a robot navigated with 2D image information only. But in [10], local 3D geometries are reconstructed between the milestone images in order to achieve fast feature prediction which allows the recovery from tracking failures. Experimental results including diverse indoor cases show performance of each algorithm.
