Resilience in Computer Network Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
The protection of network infrastructure and services is one of the main issues network managers face today. This paper investigates this matter through the study of network resilience. A resilience factor (RF) is proposed to take into account topological aspects of the network and also the amount of traffic losses under stress conditions. The proposed factor is evaluated using a real network backbone (RNP). Results obtained showed that the resilience factor is consistent and can be employed to support network managers decisions about network expansions, link additions and removals. Such decisions improve network robustness making it less vulnerable to attacks and failures.

Evaluating Multipath TCP Resilience against Link Failures
Standard TCP is the de facto reliable transfer protocol for the Internet. It is designed to establish a reliable connection using only a single network interface. However, standard TCP with single interfacing performs poorly due to intermittent node connectivity. This requires the re-establishment of connections as the IP addresses change. Multi-path TCP (MPTCP) has emerged to utilize multiple ...
متن کاملPrioritizing Resilience Enhancement Measures for Electric Distribution Networks Against Hurricanes
In recent years, climate change and increasing occurrence rate of high-impact rare (HR) natural events such as hurricanes have made it difficult to supply uninterrupted power to end-user customers. The extensive geographic area of electric distribution networks, as the last ring of the energy supply chain in power systems, has increased the vulnerability of these networks against natural events...
متن کاملImproving the resilience of active distribution networks by optimal charging/discharging management of electric vehicles in parking lots
In the event of a severe incident with a high impact and low probability of occurrence, distribution networks may be separated from upstream networks and several feeders may be disconnected simultaneously within the distribution networks. In such circumstances, to maximize the resilience of the distribution networks and to prevent long-term global outages, they are reconfigured and islanded to ...

متن کاملFault Identification using end-to-end data by imperialist competitive algorithm
Faults in computer networks may result in millions of dollars in cost. Faults in a network need to be localized and repaired to keep the health of the network. Fault management systems are used to keep today’s complex networks running without significant cost, either by using active techniques or passive techniques. In this paper, we propose a novel approach based on imperialist competitive alg...
