Abstract
A method and system for resilient routing reconfiguration, which provides provably congestion-free rerouting under a large number of failure scenarios and achieves efficiency and flexibility in accommodating different performance requirements, is disclosed. The method of embodiments comprises an offline precomputation phase and an online reconfiguration phase. Embodiments of the present invention also provide a number of useful functionalities, including (i) coping with traffic variations, (ii) supporting realistic failure scenarios, (iii) accommodating prioritized traffic with different protection levels, and (iv) balancing the trade-off between performance and resilience.
