Title
Improving Reliability in Commercial IP Networks
Abstract
As the Internet becomes an increasingly critical communication infrastructure for business, education and civil society in general, the need to understand and systematically analyze its reliability becomes progressively more important. An Internet Service Provider (ISP) faces a challenge of providing service that meets customer expectations in terms of price and reliability while continuously reducing its cost. In fact, changes in Internet technology (particularly software) are significantly more frequent and less rigorously tested than used to be in circuit-switching telephone networks. An ISP can wait until the technology will mature but then it faces the risk of losing customers and revenues in a situation where many customers care more about low prices than claims of better quality and reliability. A large ISP has to meet high reliability requirements for critical applications like financial transactions, Voice over IP and IPTV. This results in variety of redundancy solutions at the edge and resilient core which is shared by traffic from all applications. In this paper we review redundancy solutions for eliminating the customer impact in typical failure modes in FP networks and present a constructive metric for evaluating the reliability of commercial IP networks.
