Link failures in wide area networks are common and cause significant data losses. Mesh-based protection schemes offer high capacity efficiency but they are slow and require complex signaling. Additionally, real-time reconfiguration of a cross-connect threatens their transmission integrity. On the other hand, coding-based protection schemes are proactive. Therefore, they have higher restoration speed, lower signaling complexity, and higher transmission integrity. This paper introduces a coding-based protection scheme, named Coded Path Protection (CPP). In CPP, a backup copy of the primary data is encoded with other data streams, resulting in capacity savings. This paper presents an optimal and simple capacity placement and coding group formation algorithm. The algorithm converts the sharing structure of any solution of a Shared Path Protection (SPP) technique into a coding structure with minimum extra capacity. We conducted quantitative and qualitative comparisons of our technique with the SPP and, another technique, known as p-cycle protection. Simulation results confirm that the CPP is significantly faster than the SPP and p-cycle techniques. CPP incurs marginal extra capacity on top of SPP. Its capacity efficiency is lower than the p-cycle technique for dense networks but can be higher for sparse networks. In addition, unlike p-cycle protection, CPP is inherently suitable for the wavelength continuity constraint in optical networks.
