This book covers the issues of monitoring, failure localization, and restoration in the Internet optical backbone, and focuses on the progress of state-of-the-art in both industry standard and academic research. The authors summarize, categorize, and analyze the developed technology in the context of Internet fault management and failure recovery under the Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS), via both aspects of network operations and theories.

• Examines monitoring, failure localization, and failure restoration in the Internet backbone
• Includes problem formulations based on combinatorial group testing and topology coding
• Covers state-of-the-art development for the Internet backbone fault management and failure recovery
