Performance of neural network based restoration of optical networks is evaluated and a few possible improvements are proposed. Neural network based restoration is simulated with optical link capacities assigned by a new method. Two new improvement methods are developed to reduce the neural network size and the restoration time of severed optical connections. Cycle based restoration is suggested, which reduces the neural network structure by restoring the severed connections for each optical node, iteratively. Additionally, to reduce the restoration time, the necessary waiting time before the neuron outputs fire for the propagation delay over the network is computed and embedded in the control structure of the neural network. The improvement methods are evaluated by simulations in terms of
restorability, restoration time, network redundancy and average length of restoration paths for different failure cases and different security requirements.
