Dependability of IP networks
This web site contains results and
events by series of Finnish research projects on dependability of IP
network. The current project "GOODNET - control and care in risk-aware
networking" is funded by the Finnish Technology Agency, Tekes and is a
joint research project with Helsinki Institute for Information
Technology, HIIT and Technical Research Centre of Finland, VTT.
The first project on dependability started at VTT in November 2005, called "Dependability evaluation methods for IP networks", IPLU (IP-verkkojen
luotettavuuden arviointimenetelmät). The IPLU project aimed to
create a conceptual framework for assessing the complex
problem "Can one rely on IP technology?" The follow-up project IPLU-II (2007-2008) was part of Tekes'
GIGA program. The current project GOODNET will be completed in 2012.

Other material:
Dependability case of Funet's core
network:
The
first testing of dependability case methodology on Funet's core
network. This is not ment to be a proper dependability assessment, but
we have attempted to consider all relevant aspects and formulate
respective subclaims and argumentation that could be found to support
them. This prelimanary case points to a way how to proceed
towards a more thorough investigation (with more hard data available).
The dependability case methodology itself is described in
the paper "A Dependability Case Approach to the Assessment of IP
Networks", see above. html-version of the
