Abstract
The aim of this paper is to compare the reliability of regular topologies on a backbone network.
The study is focused on a large-scale fiberoptic network. Different regular topological solutions
as single ring, double ring or 4-Regular grid are applied to the case study, and compared in terms of
degree, diameter, average distance, economical cost and availability. Furthermore, other non-quantitative
parameters such as expandability, embeddability and algorithmic support are introduced.
