Network Reliability and Fault Tolerance

Abstract: This article introduces fundamental concepts in fault tolerance and reliability as applied to networks, with a focus on high‐speed backbone networks. We first introduce basic terminology and elements necessary to fault tolerance, then describe the basic strategies for detecting and handling failures in networks. The discussion then builds on these basics to illustrate recovery schemes for high‐speed backbone networks. An examination of the relationship between network topologies and recovery strategies follows… Show more

“…Redundancy is the main characteristic provided by any reliable network that has been shown absolutely useful to recover from transient and permanent failures [ 7 , 62 ]. In this context different spatial and temporal redundancy techniques have been applied [ 121 ]. On the one hand, spatial redundancy techniques replicate components or data in the system, e.g, error-correction codes and transmission over multiple paths through the network, adopting in some cases 1:1 redundancy schemes [ 7 ].…”

“…This is perhaps the most stable form of resilience, since it depends only on the system's overall features. It is also possible to apply more dynamic techniques, either by adapting the network (perhaps activating additional links) or by adapting its behavior (perhaps providing new service instances or changed protocols or security stances): a more "temporal" form of resilience that can use less resources under normal circumstances and provide a more flexible array of responses [14].…”

“…Cycle is one of the distinct features to characterize a graph. The analysis of cycles in networks have different applications in the design and development of communicaiton systems, such as the investigation of topological features [6], and consideration of reliability and fault tolerance [4], etc. There are various problems related to the analysis of cycles in networks.…”
