Abstract
A self-healing network can detect failures such as link/node failures and reroute the failed connections automatically using distributed control mechanisms. An improved scheme for self-healing in ATM networks based on the concept backup virtual path (VP) is presented. The objective of the backup VP problem is to find a backup VP for each of the working VPs so that the cost of providing the backup is minimized. A heuristic based solution for the backup VP routing problem using the concept of minimum cost shortest paths. Results showed that the proposed scheme are effective.
