Survivable Networks : Algorithms for Diverse Routing, Hardcover by Bhandari, Ramesh, ISBN 0792383818, ISBN-13 9780792383819, Brand New, Free shipping in the US

Explains some methods for developing routes through a network that reduces or eliminates the risk of losing data due to a fiber span cut or node failure as networks become more glass than metal and the intolerance of such loss by customers grows as they have more and more services to choose from. Considers the common mesh-type network and describes in detail the construction of physically disjoint paths algorithms for diverse routing, starting with those for the shortest path. The algorithms are in a generic form, so though they were developed for a communications network, they could be applied to other problems that can be modeled as a network. Annotation c.
