Abstract :
As computer networks are increasingly put into use, the organizations they serve are becoming increasingly concerned about data and network reliability and availability. Until recently, little emphasis was placed on making computer software reliable (except in military and communications applications), and little consideration was given to enhancing computer network reliability and availability.
