Hi people!
I've begun research on (carrier-grade, aka telecom-grade) resiliency in =
IP transport networks. The first step would be to collect possible =
failure events, their causes and consequences, statistics about =
downtimes (mean time to repair) and mean times between failures, and I =
would like to identify which of the problems are most typical (HW bug, =
SW bug, cable cut through, plugged out (link going down), severe =
misconfiguration).
I think this is the perfect forum to get some feedback from real =
network-operational experience.
Is anyone out there who has some statistics/documents that would help =
me in any way?
Also, do you have any suggestions on open research issues to be solved =
in the area?
Any thoughts on your mind or comments would be most welcome!
Thanks!
