Availability of transmission systems in continental and intercontinental connections
Abstract
The relationship between service availability and network availability are considered with respect to two types of end to end reference connections usable for international networks. Numerical computations were made by a weighted availability index to verify the acceptability of availability targets specified for particular transmission media. The evaluations show that the service interruptions are one order of magnitude smaller then the objectives recommended for radio links.
