Abstract:
The Internet plays an important role in our life as social infrastructure, and the importance of reliability is widely recognized in the Internet. There are many studies on network design with high reliability but most of them intend for constructing a single network that a network operator governs. However, the Internet consists of many of small networks, which are mutually connected. Therefore, it is important to enhance reliability of inter-connected network consisted from two or more networks rather than focusing only on the reliability inside the single network. In this paper, we show how we should connect two networks for achieving high reliability of inter-connected network. We evaluate the reliability with various kinds of connecting structures. Evaluation results show that high reliability is achieved by a multiscale structure where links for inter-connection are prepared for connecting nodes belonging to different hierarchical level in the network.
