    abstract     = "As connection oriented network solutions are used more and more for telecommunication, live television broadcast, streaming of sound and video, solving the timing issues in voice over {IP} (VoIP) and much more, it becomes increasingly important to protect such networks from link failures as they do not have the inherent protection of a packet switched network.

Protection from link failure can be costly since additional capacity is needed for backup paths. In this theses we will present a path protection method called Shared Backup Path Protection which has a capacity requirement very close to the lower bound. We will show how the model is implemented and test the final program on several well known networks."
