인터넷의 성장은 다양한 분야에서 정보통신 기술의 활용한 새로운 서비스를 창출하고 있지만, 인터넷의 구조적인 문제로 인하여 다양한 네트워크 구조와 서비스의 발전을 저해하고 있다. 네트워크 가상화는 현재 인터넷의 구조적 문제를 극복할 수 있는 대안으로 연구되고 있으며, 많은 연구 분야 중에서도 가상 네트워크 자원 할당 방안이 중요 연구 분야중의 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 가상 네트워크의 신뢰성을 향상시켜 네트워크상에서의 단일 링크 장애를 복구할 수 있는 방안을 제안한다. 다수의 가상 네트워크가 하나의 공유 백업 대역폭을 이용하여 다중 경로를 지원함으로 신뢰성을 향상시킬 수 있다. 가상 네트워크들이 백업자원을 공유함으로 한정된 물리 자원의 효율성을 향상시키고, 사전에 할당된 백업 자원을 이용하여 빠른 장애 복구가 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 실험을 통하여 제안된 알고리즘의 다중 경로 생성 소요 시간이 기존 연구보다 약 50% 정도 성능 향상되었음을 확인하였다.

Elastic Optical Networks (EONs) allow to solve the high demand for bandwidth due to the increase in the number of internet users and the explosion of multicast applications. To support multicast applications, network operator computes a tree-shaped path, which is a set of optical channels. Generally, the demand for bandwidth on an optical channel is enormous so that, if there is a single fiber failure, it could cause a serious interruption in data transmission and a huge loss of data. To avoid serious interruption in data transmission, the tree-shaped path of a multicast connection may be protected. Several works have been proposed methods to do this. But these works may cause the duplication of some resources after recovery due to a link failure. Therefore, this duplication can lead to inefficient use of network resources. Our work consists to propose a method of protection that eliminates the link that causes duplication so that, the final backup path structure after link failure is a tree. Evaluations and analyses have shown that our method uses less backup resources than methods for protection of a multicast connection.

Network virtualization has been regarded as a core attribute of the Future Internet. In a network virtualization environment (NVE), multiple heterogeneous virtual networks can coexist on a shared substrate network. Thus, a substrate network failure may affect multiple virtual networks. In this case, it is increasingly critical to provide survivability for the virtual networks against the substrate network failures. Previous research focused on mechanisms that ensure the resilience of the virtual network. However, the resource efficiency is still important to make the mapping scheme practical. In this paper, we study the survivable virtual network embedding mechanisms against substrate link and node failure from the perspective of improving the resource efficiency. For substrate link survivability, we propose a load-balancing and re-configuration strategy to improve the acceptance ratio and bandwidth utilization ratio. For substrate node survivability, we develop a minimum cost heuristic based on a divided network model and a backup resource cost model, which can both satisfy the location constraints of virtual node and increase the sharing degree of the backup resources. Simulations are conducted to evaluate the performance of the solutions. The proposed load balancing and re-configuration strategy for substrate link survivability outperforms other approaches in terms of acceptance ratio and bandwidth utilization ratio. And the proposed minimum cost heuristic for substrate node survivability gets a good performance in term of acceptance ratio.
