Abstract
The dependability of public networks is analyzed. The growing reliance of all segments of society on public telecommunications networks is described. The challenge in maintaining traditional dependability levels in the face of new network constructs having less inherent reliability is discussed. A new measurement for network quality and standards for public network dependability are proposed
