Robust and Fast Converging Cross-Layer Failure Correction in Segment-Routed Networks

Due to overlay technologies, service providers have a logical view of the underlay network and can optimize the experience quality without modifying the physical network. However, the cross-layer interaction inevitably causes network fluctuation due to their inconsistent optimization objectives. Asi...
