Summary, in English

The paper considers a problem of routing, protection and load balancing in the IP/MPLS network. A network design problem combining all these aspects is presented. Proportionally fair distribution of residual bandwidths on links is used for load balancing, and protection is achieved with failure-dependent backup paths. The efficiency of the proposed approach is tested by combining optimization and simulation tools. Numerical experiments show that using the proposed load balancing and protection mechanisms decreases the number of disrupted LSPs in case of failures, as compared to other recovery options considered.
