METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ASSESSING NETWORK RESOURCE FAILURES USING PASSIVE SHARED RISK RESOURCE GROUPS

摘要

A method for analyzing failures in network resources in a multilayered communication network using passive shared risk resource groups may include, in a processor, identifying network resources in a plurality of network resources having common risk attributes. The network resources may be grouped into one or more passive shared risk resource groups (PSRG) based on the common risk attributes. A likelihood of a PSRG failure may be assessed for each of the one or more PSRGs.
