—We consider network reliability in layered networks where the lower layer experiences random link failures. In layered networks, each failure at the lower layer may lead to mult...
—In distributed computing systems (DCSs) where server nodes can fail permanently with nonzero probability, the system performance can be assessed by means of the service reliabil...
Recent advances in multicasting over the Internet present new opportunities for improving communication performance in clusters of workstations. The standard IP multicast, however...
