  • Abstract
    System performance and reliability are jointly assessed for highly reliable communication/computer networks. The model assumes that at most a small number of components can be down at a time and that the average repair/replacement time of a failed component is small when compared with the average failure times of network components. The system performance is measured in terms of network throughput at steady-state operation
