Rule-based algorithmic approach for solving problems of impact analysis in access networks

The objective of this paper is to propose the rule-based algorithmic approach for solving problems of faults influence on the service quality in access networks. In this paper the graph oriented model for network and communication services representation, the rule-based system and corresponding output mechanism, the algorithms for the faults impact analysis based on graph traversal schemes are proposed. The proposed approach allows to obtain agility of rule-based systems and efficiency of arithmetic calculations. Essentially, the algorithm for estimation of faults impact preliminary is deduced with the help of rule-based system. The evaluation of the proposed approach is performed by modeling large access networks with a large amount of equipment and results show high performance of the algorithm.
