What is BS EN 62673 - Communication network dependability assessment about?
BS EN 62673 describes a generic methodology for dependability assessment and assurance of communication networks from a network life cycle perspective. BS EN 62673 presents the network dependability assessment strategies and methodology for analysis of network topology, evaluation of dependability of service paths, and optimization of network configurations in order to achieve network dependability performance and dependability of service.
BS EN 62673 addresses the network dependability assurance strategies and methodology for the application of network health checks, network outage control, and test case management to enhance and sustain dependability performance in-network service operation.
Who is BS EN 62673 - Communication network dependability assessment for?
BS EN 62673 on communication network dependability assessment is useful for:
- Network service providers
- Network designers
- Network developers
- Network maintainers
- Quality assurance operators/personnel
Why should you use BS EN 62673 - Communication network dependability assessment?
Communication network dependability is highly influenced by the design and implementation of the network service functions, which aim to achieve user satisfaction in-service performance. Network evolution, service growth, and functional renewal in communications have long been challenges to the providers of network services, not just for the broad range of services now in existence, but also for those service-related activities experienced by the end-users. To sustain viable business in network services, it is prudent for the communications industry to provide the
- Needed network service functions
- Adequate network capacity and performance capability
- Security of service
- Quality of service
- Dependability of service
BS EN 62673 addresses one of the most important issues concerning the assessment and delivery of dependability of service to ensure network service performance. BS EN 62673 addresses the network dependability assurance strategies and methodology applications for enhancing and sustaining network operation. BS EN 62673 describes a generic methodology for dependability assessment and assurance of communication networks. BS EN 62673 provides relevant assessment and assurance methods to support communication networks for dependability engineering applications, such as those conforming to IEC 61907 and ITU-T 1 recommendations
concerning dependability. BS EN 62673 presents an approach for network dependability analysis and evaluation that ensures dependable network design for effective implementation.
The objective of BS EN 62673 is to achieve a cost-effective solution for realizing the network dependability performance and to assure the benefits from the network dependability of service operation.
