The concept of $k$-shortest disjoint paths is considered important because the establishment of primary and backup forwarding paths exploiting shorter distance and faster propagation time is a dominant consideration for the design of a survivable backbone network. Therefore, we need to evaluate how well the concept of $k$-shortest disjoint paths is exploited for the design of a survivable ship backbone network considering the international standard related to ship backbone networks, the IEC61162-410 standard specifying how to manage redundant message transmissions among ship devices. Performance evaluations are conducted in terms of following objective goals: link capacity, hop and distance of primary and backup paths, even distribution of traffic flows, restoration time of backup forwarding paths, and physical network topology connectivity.

This paper proposes a design of a ship backbone network-based on the survival and efficiency of the ship network. Currently IEC operates the standard ship network, a standard specification "IEC 61162-410 maintains the operation of the network. IEC 61162-410 offers a high stability of the ship network by using terminal equipment. But current studies are incomplete because it has been assumed that the ship's network will operate at double its current capacity. This paper analyzes the double ship backbone topology for an organization and then will summarise the minimum costs required to implement the ship backbone topology using an ILP. Also, we present an effective traffic assignment technique that uses an ILP, metaheuristic, heuristic algorism-based underlying the ship backbone network. The results by experimenting the design of the network confirmed a greter efficiency, stability and cost-effectiveness of the ship network.
