This paper proposes a new survivable algorithm, Enhanced Shared-Path Protection (ESPP), to tolerate multi-link failures in WDM optical networks. In ESPP, we consider the load balancing to reduce the blocking probability, use resources sharing to save backup resources, and perform recovery escalation to carry the affected traffic. Compared with the conventional algorithm, ESPP has better resource utilization ratio, lower blocking probability and higher protection ability. Simulation results are shown to be promising.
