An evaluation method for communication network topology reliability based on Markov model

This paper presents a Markov-based algorithm for communication network topology reliability, and use a case and 3 experiments to prove its rationality. This paper proposes the thought to study the network topology reliability from the perspective of application, and introduce factors such as transfer probability when figure the topology reliability. These characteristics make the algorithm be able to reflect the users´ requirements, and to evaluate the ability of network to meet the users´ applications.
