A study of evaluating indexes for the reliability of equipment support network

The evaluating indexes for the reliability of equipment support network plays an important role in the study of equipment support networking under the information conditions, and the evaluating indexes are the precondition and foundation for testing the reliability of equipment support network. The paper firstly defines equipment support network and the reliability of the network, and then makes the principles in building up index system by analyzing the factors influencing the reliability for equipment support network. As the basis, this paper builds up the evaluating index system of the reliability of equipment support network in the three aspects of invulnerability, survivability and availability, and defines the meaning of the indexes in order to provide decision makers a reference for implementing effectively evaluation of equipment support network reliability.
