Optimization Model and Their Applications of Linking Assignments of Terminal Reliability of Computer Communication Network

Abstract

Probabilistic network whose connections are vulnerable to failure have been studied widely in literature, their reliability is seen as the network capacity to keep on functioning after failures have happened. We take into consideration all terminal measure of reliability, which is defined as the probability that the network will be connected after failures. Existing work on this model assumes equal failure probabilities all links. We discuss in this paper the design issue of allocating the provided distinct probabilities of the links of a network to maximize the system's reliability.
