Method for Finding Links Protected against Increase of Path Length during Failures
Kohei Nishida, Hiroyoshi Miwa (Kwansei Gakuin Univ.) NS2012-265
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) A telecommunication network should be reliable, since it is important as social infrastructure. However, in many actual networks, there exists the risk that the quality of service drastically degrades when the length of paths increases by a link failure. To get rid of this risk, it is necessary to design a network so that the maximum increase rate of the length of all paths is small even if a link fails. Therefore, the critical links whose failures significantly degrade the performance must be protected by rapid recovery so that the failures cannot be detected over the IP layer. The number of protected links should be small to restrict the investment cost for facilities and operational cost for Internet service providers. In this paper, we formulate this link protection problem and prove that the problem is NP-hard even if $k=3$. In addition, we propose a polynomial-time algorithm to solve the problem that the number of simultaneous link failures is restricted to one.
