COMPARING THE RELIABILITY OF REGULAR TOPOLOGIES ON A BACKBONE NETWORK. A CASE STUDY.
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to compare the reliability of regular topologies on a backbone network. The study is focused on a large-scale fiber-optic network. Different regular topological solutions as single ring, double ring or 4-Regular grid are applied to the case study, and compared in terms of degree, diameter, average distance, economical cost and availability. Furthermore, other non-quantitative parameters such as expandability, embeddability and algorithmic support are introduced.
