Benefit: Diversity Control S3 M-SRLG: 100 Metric: 12 S5 Abstract Links reflect diversity of server network Server network connections may share fate Multiple wavelengths which share the same fiber Path computations in client network may require diversity Abstract links must expose fate sharing of server network connections Collapsed, abstract-layer network, Topology S9 M-SRLG: 200 Metric: 12 M-SRLG: 200 Metric: 15 S11 S8 Shared Risk Link Groups (SRLGs) Integer annotations to TE links, identifying fate-sharing groups SRLGs are per-layer/domain, must be coordinated Path computation considers annotations as constraints If paths are SRLG-diverse, guaranteed to not share fate Client & serverlayer Topology(s) S3 S9 S5 S11 S8 Sharing Server Layer Client Layer SRLG = <nil> SRLG = <X> SRLG = <X> * Thomas Mueller, Juniper Networks, KINBERCON 2016 6
