In order to evaluate the expected availability of a service, a
network administrator should consider all possible failure scenarios
under the specific service availability model stipulated in the
corresponding service-level agreement. Given the increase in natural
disasters and malicious attacks with geographically extensive impact,
considering only independent single link failures is often insufficient.
In this talk, we build a stochastic model of geographically correlated
link failures caused by disasters, in order to estimate the hazards a
network may be prone to, and to understand the complex correlation
between possible link failures. With such a model, one can quickly
extract information, such as the probability of an arbitrary set of
links to fail simultaneously, the probability of two nodes to be
disconnected, the probability of a path to survive a failure, etc.
Furthermore, we introduce a pre-computation process, which enables us
to succinctly represent the joint probability distribution of link
failures. In particular, we generate, in polynomial time, a
quasilinear-sized data structure, with which the joint failure
probability of any set of links can be computed efficiently.
