  • Abstract
    It is suggested that the most important and reasonable parameter of a communication network is the traffic capacity, which might be selected to measure the survivability. It is concluded that the definition of survivability based on traffic flow can be used to evaluate or design a military communication network conveniently. It includes the old definition based on connectivity and is broader in concept. There will be no problem in calculation, because the program is already available. A design of a military communication network using this concept has been performed, showing that the definition is correct
