Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new restoration algorithm for disaster recovery in Elastic Optical Networks (EONs). The algorithm considers the different requirements on restoration delay and bandwidth degradation while restoring over multiple routes. Furthermore, the algorithm is able to adapt the connection recover process to the post-disaster network conditions and, consequently, increase the number of restored connections. Results indicate that the proposed strategy is able to improve connections restorability and decrease bandwidth blocking probability when compared to restoration approach based on bandwidth degradation and multipath recovery.
