Abstract: Survivability has always been an important research focus for optical networks. We have proven that the k-regular and k-edge connected structure is the optimal protection structure against multi-link failures. Based on the k-regular and k-edge connected structure, the p-polyhedron protection scheme which has low resource redundancy is proposed. In optical data center networks (ODCNs), the required data or services can be replicated and maintained in multiple geographically distributed data centers. Based on this, the content connectivity which represents the reachability of the required content from each user is defined for ODCNs. Moreover, the degree of content connectivity can be improved by increasing the number of copies of content. In ODCNs, the content connectivity can be integrated with the p-polyhedron protection scheme. With the help of content connectivity, the resource efficiency of the p-polyhedron protection scheme can be further improved. We proposes the content connectivity based polyhedron protection (CCPP) scheme to minimize the network redundancy of ODCNs. An ILP model and a heuristic algorithm are developed to realize the CCPP scheme under static and dynamic circumstances respectively. Numerical results show that the proposed CCPP scheme has a lower network redundancy. Moreover, the network redundancy of the CCPP scheme is positively correlated with the degree of content connectivity.
