Abstract | As switched networks providing services to end users become more commonplace, integral components of these networks must have an increasing level of dependability. One area of interest is determining the optimal number of network servers required for a switched network application by taking into consideration the characteristics of the network traffic and failure rate of the servers. A stochastic reward net model is developed for this purpose. Such models allow performance and availability measures to be combined. |
