Abstract

The paper proposes a novel SLA-aware 
mechanism to improve the performance of the networks with 
huge traffic volume of high priority connection requests with 
long holding time for optical shared mesh networks. The 
proposed mechanism consists of two parts, a novel re
provisioning algorithm which buffers and further processes the 
potentially blocked high priority connection requests, and a 
new time-aware path constraint which takes advantage of 
availability and holding-time as two crucial SLA connection 
parameters. The proposed mechanism benefits from dynamic 
service level agreement negotiation between a customer and 
service providers. The simulation results show reduced 
blocking probability, increased availability satisfaction rate, 
decreased resource overbuild, and better resource utilization to 
preserve the high priority class of traffic compared to other 
SLA-aware algorithms and protection schemes in shared mesh 
optical networks.
