Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to characterizing reliability associated with a network. To characterize the reliability, an edge-pair reliability metric is determined for service edge point pairs. An end-to-end reliability metric is computed based on a distribution of the edge-pair reliability metric for the service edge point pairs and a threshold value.
Claims20
A method of characterizing reliability associated with a network comprising:
- determining a distribution of an edge-pair reliability metric for edge-pairs;
- and
- computing an end-to-end reliability metric based on the distribution of the edge-pair reliability metric for the edge-pairs and a threshold value.
A system for characterizing reliability associated with a network comprising:
- a computing device configured to determine a distribution of an edge-pair reliability metric for edge-pairs and compute an end-to-end reliability metric based on the distribution of the edge-pair reliability metric for the edge-pairs and a threshold value.
A computer-readable medium comprising instructions, wherein execution of the instructions by at least one computing device facilitates characterizing reliability associated with a network by determining a distribution of an edge-pair reliability metric for edge-pairs and computing an end-to-end reliability metric based on the distribution of the edge-pair reliability metric for edge-pairs and a threshold value.
