Reliability Analysis of Topologies Derived from Ring Topology

Abstract

With social development, people rely more and more on the computer network, and also have higher requirements for the reliability of network communications, and optimizing the reliability of computer network communications is a topological Structure optimization process, it involves network spending, medium delay and reliability, is a multi-objective optimization process. The main contributions to the analysis of topology constructed by adding new edges in ring topology are made in this paper. By determining the reliability using the Wiener Index and data transfer using Cisco packet simulation, the effectiveness of the novel topologies is evaluated. The results demonstrate that the new topologies at each stage are more reliable than the ring topology and take less time for data transfer, less hops and less risk factor.
