reliability and survivability methodologies for next generation networks
This paper aims to review some reliability and availability methodologies suitable to characterize telecommunication networks behavior, in particular, in the presence random failures of network elements. This approach is becoming more and more relevant to assess the Quality of Service offered by a telecom operator to its subscribers, also known as performability. In order to clarify this approaches, we present some examples related to next generation networks based on the IP Multimedia Subsystem. Some notions about the emerging requirements of network survivability are given.
