Abstract
The provisioning of services in optical networks demands reliable transmission paths. This paper investigates the availability of optical connections with respect to the failure probability of the involved network components. Outages of the fiber links as well as potential hardware failures for different opaque and transparent node architectures are analyzed. The results are presented in terms of map diagrams which allow to determine the availability of a wavelength connection subject to the transmission distance and the number of traversed hops.
