Fast recovery time and reduced resource utilization are the two main criteria for determining the quality of survivability mechanism. Now it is well-known that link-based protection and path-based protection provide respectively a short recovery time and reduced use of resources. To benefit from the both of these saliencies, we propose in this paper to use these mechanisms simultaneously. Indeed, demands mandating shorter recovery time will be protected using link-based protection. Meanwhile other demands will be protected using path-based protection. Simulation results show that the proposed solution achieves a good trade-off between resource utilization and recovery time.
