SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MULTI-LAYER NETWORK ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

摘要

Techniques for providing a method and system for multi-layer network analysis and design are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method, comprising determining, using a computer model of a network, a minimum probability of failure path between a pair of network nodes at a first network layer for one or more pairs of network nodes, calculating, using a processor and stored network data, a value for the minimum probability of failure for the identified minimum probability of failure path between the pair of network nodes at the first network layer for the one or more pairs of network nodes. The method may include identifying, using a processor, a maximum of the determined minimum probability of failure values for the one or more pairs of network nodes for the first network layer, determining, using the computer model of a network, a minimum probability of failure path between a pair of network nodes at one or more secondary network layers for one or more pairs of network nodes and calculating, using a processor and stored network data, a value for the minimum probability of failure for the identified minimum probability of failure path at the one or more secondary network layers. The method may further include identifying, using a processor, a maximum of the determined minimum probability of failures for each of the one or more secondary network layers, and outputting, via a user interface, one or more maximum of the determined minimum probability of failure values for one or more network layers for one or more pairs of network nodes of the modeled network.
