Abstract :
Highly reliable telecommunication networks require new technologies, such as the reliability specification, design, and evaluation method used at NTT. This paper describes the basic concepts of this method, and the ARDES-NET (Availability Reliability Design and Evaluation System for NETworks) software tool is used to support the reliability design and evaluation. ARDESNET has a user-friendly interface and can be easily put into practice
