Software tool for network reliability and availability analysis

$15.00

This paper presents an easy-to-use software tool designed to simplify the planning, design, and optimization processes for fiber access networks, and save valuable time preparing network configurations that provide a desired level of reliability, availability, and fiber length. It presents a comparative analysis of fiber network topologiesโ€”in particular, topologies such as star, ring, multilevel stars, multilevel rings, hybrid multilevel star-rings, and hybrid multilevel ring-stars.
