Reliability analysis of failure models in circuit-switched networks

회선교환망에서의 고장모델에 대한 신뢰도 분석

We have analyzed the reliability of failure models in circuit-switched networks. These models are grid topology circuit-switched networks, and each node transmits a packet to a destination node using a Flooding routing method. We have assumed that the failure of each link and node is independent. We have considered two method to analyze reliability in these models : The Karnaugh Map method and joint probability method. In this two method, we have analyzed the reliability in a small grid topology circuit switched network by a joint probability method, and comared analytic results with simulated ones. For a large grid enormous. So, we have evaluated the reliability of the network by computer simulation techniques. As results, we have found that the analytic results are very close to simulated ones in a small grid topology circuit switched network. And, we have found that network reliability decreases exponentially, according to increment of link or node failure, and network reliability is almost linearly decreased according to increment of the number of links, by which call has passed. Finally, we have found an interesting result that nodes in a center of the network are superior to the other nodes from the reliability point of view.
