RAPTOR: a network tool for mitigating the impactof spatially correlated failures in infrastructure networks
Abstract
Current practices of fault-tolerant network designignore the fact that most network infrastructure faults arelocalized or spatially correlated (i.e., confined to geo-graphic regions). Network operators require new tools tomitigate the impact of such region-based faults on theirinfrastructures. Utilizing the support from the U.S. Depart-ment of Defense, and by consolidating a wide range oftheories and solutions developed in the last few years, theauthors of this paper have developed RAPTOR, an advancedNetwork Planning and Management Tool that facilitates thedesign and provisioning of robust and resilient networks.The tool provides multi-faceted network design, evaluation,and simulation capabilities for network planners. Future extensions of the tool currently being worked upon not onlyexpand the tool’s capabilities, but also extend these capa-bilities to heterogeneous interdependent networks such ascommunication, power, water, and satellite networks.
