Question: In the optical-bypass-enabled network shown below, where the links are labeled with their lengths in km, three protected demands need to be routed: AC, AH,

In the optical-bypass-enabled network shown below, where the links are labeled with their lengths in km, three protected demands need to be routed: AC, AH, and HJ. The demands are at the line rate. Any of these demands can be protected with either 1 + 1 or shared protection. Assume that any protect paths or segments have transponders at the endpoints (i.e., the transponders of a failed working path are not reused for protection). Assume that no regeneration is required. What is the minimum-cost design?
