Abstract :
This work analyzes the ring network availability based on SDH technology. Two protection mechanisms are specially analyzed: path protection and self healing ring with two and four fibers. Calculation of availability is made using the data pertaining to the failures of optical cables and equipment which are obtained during years-long observation of the SDH network of HPT Mostar as well as those obtained from manufacturers.
