This book presents novel and efficient tools, techniques, and approaches for reliability evaluation, reliability analysis, and design of reliable communication networks using graph theoretic concepts. In recent years, human beings have become largely dependent on communication networks, such as computer communication networks, telecommunication networks, mobile switching networks, etc., for their day-to-day activities. In today's world, humans and critical machines depend on these communication networks to work properly. Failure of these communication networks can result in situations where people may find themselves isolated, helpless, and exposed to hazards. It is a fact that every component or system can fail, and its failure probability increases with size and complexity. The main objective of this book is to devise approaches for reliability modeling and evaluation of such complex networks. Such evaluation helps to understand which network can give us better reliability by its design. New designs of fault-tolerant interconnection network layouts are proposed, which are capable of providing high reliability through path redundancy and fault tolerance through reduction of common elements in paths. This book covers the reliability evaluation of various network topologies considering multiple reliability performance parameters (two-terminal reliability, broadcast reliability, all-terminal reliability, and multiple sources to multiple destinations reliability).

In recent years, human beings have become increasingly reliant on communication networks, including computer communication networks, telecommunication networks, mobile switching networks, and more, for their daily activities. In today's world, humans and critical machines rely on these communication networks to function effectively. The failure of these networks can lead to situations where individuals may find themselves isolated, helpless, and exposed to hazards. It is a well-established fact that every component or system can fail, and the likelihood of failure increases with size and complexity.

The primary objective of this book is to develop methodologies for reliability modeling and evaluation of such complex networks. Such evaluation plays a crucial role in understanding which networks can provide superior reliability through their design. New designs of fault-tolerant interconnection network layouts are proposed, which possess the capability to deliver high reliability through path redundancy and fault tolerance by reducing common elements in paths. This book encompasses the reliability evaluation of diverse network topologies, taking into account various reliability performance parameters such as two-terminal reliability, broadcast reliability, all-terminal reliability, and multiple sources to multiple destinations reliability.
