Although techniques, parameters, and me

4、thods needed to study network survivability performance are defined, recommended par ameter objectives are not established. This document is intended to provide a basis for designing and operating telecommunications networks to meet users expectations regarding network survivability, fulfilling the

5、need for a common understanding, and as sessment techniques. It emphasizes the classification of network failures ( i.e., identifying whether or not a service outage has occurred) and provides a framework to quantify the severity of failure events. This TR also provides improved measures of fai lure

6、s with respect to service outage severity. It classifies the architectures and services of all industry segments ( i.e., wireline, Internet, wireless, cable TV, and satellite) and provides methods to calculate outage index values for communication serv ice outages.

Executive Summary This Technical Report (TR) combines, updates, enhances, and supersedes the Committee T1 Technical Report Nos. 24 1 (TR No. 24, Network Survivabili

48、ty Performance) and 24A 2 (Supplement to TR No. 24), which addressed the need for (i) a common understanding of network survivability, and (ii) common techniques for assessing network survivability. This report resolves some of the issues and questions left for further study from the previous techni

49、cal reports. TR No. 24 emphasized (i) the classification of network failures (i.e., identifying whether or not a service outage has occurred), and (ii) addressed the quantification of failure events and techniques to measure the severity of the failure. TR No. 24A provided improved measures of failures with respect to service outage severity. TR No. 24A also classified the architectures and services other than the wireline (i.e., wireless, cable TV, and satellite) that can provide voiceband telephony service and illustrated methods to calculate outage index values comparable to
