Abstract

See full text

A time simulation technique for determining the service availability (or unavailability) of end to and network connections (or paths) between source and sink nodes is disclosed. The method includes skips of (a) selecting a link between two network nodes; (b) performing a simulated link failure on the selected link; (c) sell sting a connection bet two network source and sink nodes; and (d) determining the unavailability and availability of the connection on under the simulated link failure condition. The method further includes (e) of repeating (c) and (a) and (b); and (f) of summoning the unavailability and availability of connections after each repetition until a predetermined number of connections have been selected, and until a simulated link failure has been performed on all links; or until the summed unavailability and availability has been determined to converge, whichever is earlier.
