Sažetak
Security issues in Transparent Optical Networks (TONs) are of prime importance due to the high data rates involved and the vulnerabilities associated with transparency. Deliberate attacks on network operation can present a serious security threat. Typical attacks commonly involve injecting high-powered jamming signals on legitimate data channels to exploit vulnerabilities in optical components such as crosstalk in switches and fibers, and gain competition in amplifiers. We propose a novel approach to help help deal with these issues in the network planning process. Namely, we propose to route lightpaths in transparent optical networks in such a way as to minimize the potential damage caused by a single jamming attack. We consider a new objective criterion for the Routing and Wavelength Assignment problem called the Jamming Attack Radius (JAR), and formulate the routing sub-problem as a mixed integer liner programming (MILP) problem. We test it on small networks to get an insight into its complexity and compare with a MILP which minimizes congestion, obtaining very promising results.
