“…Given a network topology graph, its resilience can only be predicted by applying a challenge and measuring its robustness, either analytically, through simulation, or experimentation on a large-scale testbed [131]. This requires a threat model and an understanding of potential challenges that could disrupt the network.…”

In this position paper on reliable networks, we discuss new trends in the design of reliable communication systems. We focus on a wide range of research directions including protection against software failures as well as failures of communication systems equipment. In particular, we outline future research trends in software failure mitigation, reliability of wireless communications, robust optimization and network design, multilevel and multirealm network resilience, multiple criteria routing approaches in multilayer networks, resilience options of the fixed IP backbone network in the interplay with the optical layer survivability, reliability of cloud computing networks, and

“…It tries to avoid the global re-convergence with local rerouting and pre-computed detours, converting the reaction scheme of standard IP networks into faster proactive protection mechanisms [46]. The matter of these approaches is that the router adjacent to the failure tries to solve the problem individually by means of pre-computed alternate routing tables, which are installed long before any failure occurs.…”

Abstract. With the evolution of the Internet, a huge number of realtime applications, like Voice over IP, has started to use IP as primary transmission medium. These services require high availability, which is not amongst the main features of today's heterogeneous Internet where failures occur frequently. Unfortunately, the primary fast resilience scheme implemented in IP routers, Loop-Free Alternates (LFA), usually does not provide full protection against failures. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in LFA-based network optimization methods, aimed at tuning some aspect of the underlying IP topology to maximize the ratio of failure cases covered by LFA. The main goal of this chapter is to give a comprehensive overview of LFA and survey the related LFA network optimization methods, pointing out that these optimization tools can turn LFA into an easy-to-deploy yet highly effective IP fast resilience scheme.

Wireless Mesh Networks, offering transmission rates of 1-10 Gb/s per a millimeter-wave link (utilizing the 71-86 GHz band) seem to be a promising alternative to fiber optic backbone metropolitan area networks because of significantly lower costs of deployment and maintenance. However, despite providing high transmission rates in good weather conditions, high-frequency wireless links are very susceptible to weather disruptions. In particular, heavy rain storms may lead to remarkable signal attenuation. In this paper, we introduce a new transmission technique for wireless mesh networks to mitigate the negative effects of link quality degradation due to rain storms. In particular, our method is the first one to use information on forecasted attenuation of links based on radar measurements to perform in advance the periodic updates of a network topology. Our approach is easily implementable in practice, since functionality of dynamic antenna alignment is currently offered by a number of equipment vendors. Other contributions of the paper include presentation of the ILP model of weatherresistant links formation problem followed by analysis of its computational complexity. Results of simulations, performed for three real scenarios of rain storms, show that our approach is very efficient in reducing the level of signal attenuation.
