Network Restoration for Next-Generation Communication and Computing Networks

Table 2

Summary of network restoration models employed in emerging xG communication and computing networks.

Number	Type of network restoration model	Type of failures addressed	Applicable networks	References
(1)	Path restoration	Link and node failures, single and multiple links failures	Software-defined networks, wireless sensor networks	[26–29]
(2)	Link (or line) restoration	Link and node failures , single and multiple links failures	Mission-critical or emergency networks, expansive networks	[30, 31]
(3)	Proactive restoration	Link and node failures, single and multiple links failures	Software-defined networks, fifth-generation networks, internet-of-things networks, dependency networks, scalable networks	[32–38]
(4)	Reactive restoration	Link and node failures, single and multiple links failures	Wireless sensor networks, fifth-generation networks, internet-of-things networks	[39–43]
