Abstract :
Communication networks may lose their end-to-end connectivity as a result of events that affect large portions of their topology. Survivability analysis of networks is used to determine this connectivity loss in view of the spatial dependency of damaging events. A dependent damage model and an extension of reliability algorithms are used systematically with Monte Carlo simulation for the survivability estimation of communications networks.
