Abstract
A method including receiving network graph information of a network, wherein the network graph information includes shared risk link group (SRLG) information; determining a maximum link-and-SRLG-disjoint flow value of the network based on the network graph information; selecting a value for a number of trap-free shortest link-and-SRLG-disjoint paths to find between a source node and a destination node based on the maximum link-and-SRLG-disjoint flow value; selecting a minimum remaining link-and-SRLG-disjoint flow value based on the value for the number of trap-free shortest link-and-SRLG-disjoint paths; and selecting a trap-free shortest link-and-SRLG-disjoint path in which a complementary part of the network supports at least the minimum remaining link-and-SRLG-disjoint-flow value.
