Resilience
Resilience is the ability of the network to provide and maintain an acceptable level of service in the face of various faults and challenges to normal operation. Resilient networks aim to provide acceptable service to applications.

Inter-X: Resilience of the Internet Interconnection Ecosystem,
ENISA technical report, April, 2011
Abstract: "This study looks at the resilience of the Internet interconnection ecosystem. The Internet is a network of networks, and the interconnection ecosystem is the collection of layered systems that holds it together. The interconnection ecosystem is the core of the Internet, providing the basic function of reaching anywhere from everywhere."

ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles: Proceedings of the eighteenth ACM symposium on Operating systems principles, 2001, pp. 131-145
ResiliNets Keywords: Overlay networks, Application level, Fault-tolerancs, Failure Detection
Abstract: "A Resilient Overlay Network (RON) is an architecture that allows distributed Internet applications to detect and recover from path outages and periods of degraded performance within several seconds, improving over today's wide-area routing protocols that take at least several minutes to recover. A RON is an application-layer overlay on top of the existing Internet routing substrate. The RON nodes monitor the functioning and quality of the Internet paths among themselves, and use this information to decide whether to route packets directly over the Internet or by way of other RON nodes, optimizing application-specificrouting metrics."

Abstract: "This article provides a concise and up-to-date survey of major recovery (protection and restoration) techniques for High Speed (Gb/s) Next Generation Networks. The survey includes an overview of both existing and newly proposed methodologies. Core ideas underlying the Disjoint Paths, Protection Rings, Protection Cycles, pcycles, Redundant Trees, Resilient Routing Layers and IP Fast Reroute technologies are presented. A comparison of strengths and weaknesses, between different recovery procedures is provided. Applications of these recovery procedures to IP based networks are also addressed."

"A survey of resilience differentiation frameworks in communication networks",
IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials, vol.9, #4, Fourth Quarter 2007, pp. 32–55
ResiliNets Keywords:
Abstract: "The current trend is to integrate a constantly increasing number of services in the same communication network. Some services have very high resilience requirements, while other services have lower ones. This scenario calls for frameworks capable of provisioning for multiple services in a costefficient manner, and already a large number of frameworks has been proposed in the literature. This article presents a comprehensive survey of research efforts related to resilience differentiation in the Internet and telecommunications networks. We present a general framework classification which is used as the basis for the subsequent review of the relevant literature. Finally, a critical evaluation of the state-of-the-art and future challenges facing operators and designers is given."

"Internet Routing Resilience to Failures: Analysis and Implications",
Proceedings of the 2007 ACM CoNEXT conference, New York, 2007, pp. 1–12
ResiliNets Keywords:
Abstract: "Internet interdomain routing is policy-driven, and thus physical connectivity does not imply reachability. On average, routing on today's Internet works quite well, ensuring reachability for most networks and achieving reasonable performance across most paths. However, there is a serious lack of understanding of Internet routing resilience to significant but realistic failures such as those caused by the 911 event, the 2003 Northeast blackout, and the recent Taiwan earthquake in December 2006. In this paper, we systematically analyze how the current Internet routing system reacts to various types of failures by developing a realistic failure model, and then pinpoint reliability bottlenecks of the Internet. For validity of our simulation results, we generate topology graphs by addressing concerns over the incompleteness of topology and the inaccuracy of inferred AS relationships. By focusing on the impact of structural and policy properties, our analysis provides guidelines for future Internet design. The simulation tool we provide for analyzing routing resilience is also efficient to scale to Internet-size topologies."

Abstract:“The notion of system “resilience” is receiving increased attention in domains ranging from safety-critical applications to ubiquitous computing. After reviewing how resilience has been defined in these contexts, we discuss roles that performability can play in both its definition and evaluation.”

Abstract: “There is a need to quantify system properties methodically. Dependability and security models have evolved nearly independently. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a classification of dependability and security models which can meet the requirement of professionals in both fault-tolerant computing and security community. In this paper, we present a new classification of dependability and security models. First we present the classification of threats and mitigations in systems and networks. And then we present several individual model types such as availability, confidentiality, integrity, performance, reliability, survivability, safety and maintainability. Finally we show that each model type can be combined and represented by one of the model representation techniques: combinatorial (such as reliability block diagrams (RBD), reliability graphs, fault trees, attack trees), state-space (continuous time Markov chains, stochastic Petri nets, fluid stochastic Petri nets, etc) and hierarchical (e.g., fault trees in the upper level and Markov chains in the lower level). We show case studies for each individual model types as well as composite model types.”

"Measuring the Resilience of the Trans-Oceanic Telecommunication Cable System",
IEEE Systems Journal, Vol.3, No.3, September 2009, pp. 295-303
Keywords: Infrastructure , Internet , resiliency , vulnerability
ResiliNets Keywords:
Abstract: "Resilience is the ability of the system to both absorb shock as well as to recover rapidly from a disruption so that it can return back to its original service delivery levels or close to it. The trans-oceanic telecommunication fiber-optics cable network that serves as the backbone of the internet is a particularly critical infrastructure system that is vulnerable to both natural and man-made disasters. In this paper, we propose a model to measure the base resiliency of this network, and explore the node to node and the overall resiliency of the network using existing data for demand, capacity and flow information. The submarine cable system is represented by a network model to which hypothetical disruptions can be introduced. The base resiliency of the system can be measured as the ratio of the value delivery of the system after a disruption to the value deliver of the system before a disruption. We further demonstrate how the resiliency of the trans-oceanic telecommunication cable infrastructure is enhanced through vulnerability reduction."
