Multi-layered model for survivability analysis of network services

摘要: A system and method of using a multi-layered network model for analyzing the survivability services. The is defined in terms layers, connections, entities, physical processing elements, infrastructure elements. Network services are modeled by sets communicating entities at application layer that connected connections underlying layers. generality constructs enable construction models complex networks can involve multiple layers communication protocols, failover/backup mechanisms. service analyzed projecting failure set elements onto then determining proportion affected layer.
