The presentation provides an overview on some short and long term solutions in metro and backbone networks that can facilitate reaching the next level of reliability, which can enable the Internet to become an always operating and fast communication system for the society. In particular I am focusing on fast failure localization and restoration approaches in optical backbone networks, and on the failure recovery techniques at the IP layer. Furthermore, I introduce a future direction on IP router design which enables the compression of the routing tables.
