Analysis of Network Reliability of Network Synchronization
This article describes the challenges of modern communication networks reliability, analyses ITU-T recommendations and regulations governing the communication networks reliability in Russian Federation. The network clock network is an integral part of digital communication networks. Therefore, the issue of the synchronization network reliability should be given great attention. Research subject. In this article, we discussed the reliability of the clock synchronization network. Method. The main mathematical tools are graph theory and probability theory. To implement the proposed method for assessing the structural reliability of the synchronization network, the direct search method is used. Core results. The results allow us to conclude that the proposed method can be applied to assess the structural reliability of the clock synchronization network. Practical relevance. The solution proposed in this article can be used for a reasonable assessment of the network structural reliability indicators, which is necessary for making a decision on the choice of a route for transmitting a synchronization signal.
