Network survivability is a key design issue for optical transport mesh networks. Various survivability schemes have been introduced among which p-cycle has (and continues) attracted quite a lot of attention because of its fast and efficient protection capabilities. The concept of p-cycle has been generalized to pre-cross-connected trails, or p-trails, by exploiting the fact that providing pre-cross-connected protection paths and obtaining fast restoration do not necessarily require a cyclic structure as in p-cycles. In this paper, we investigate the benefits and sharing capabilities of p-trails and observe that non-simple p-trails and p-cycles can be built from merging simple trails. We derive two ILP models for survivable network design using p-trails. Our first design model is a simple ILP whose optimal solution relies on the exhaustive enumeration of all simple trails in the network. We observe that the size of our ILP model, and therefore the computation time, become prohibitively large making the model unpractical for larger network instances. Therefore, to overcome this scalability issue, we develop an enhanced model for this complex optimization problem using the column generation (CG) decomposition technique. Our developed design approach is shown to be very scalable, as opposed to other prior p-trail design methods; further, we show that p-trails are more efficient than p-cycles in terms of protection resource redundancy in the network.
