Performance analysis of static and dynamic fault-tolerant irregular networks

Notwithstanding the ever growing traffic on the Internet and the fundamental issue of decision on the fast and static network or the adaptable dynamic network, this paper presents the assessment of analytic performance of two irregular MINs, a static MIN-THN and a dynamic MIN-PHN. The performance has been analyzed on the basis of routing, fault-tolerance, the available bandwidth and cost. Results show that for the two irregular MINs, optimization of the performance and cost are essential for sustained fault-tolerant operation of the network. Whereas the static MIN gains on cost and speed, the dynamic MIN gains on fault-tolerance and reliable operation.
