A FAULT-TOLERANT TECHNIQUE FOR SITE RECOVERY IN WIDEBAND NETWORKS

Abstract

n Today’s world, with several business transactions taking place over the Internet, we are interested not only in making sure that things work as intended, but also, when the inevitable failures do occur, that the damage done is minimal. As it turns out, that world conspires against us and is constructed in such a way that, generally, it is simply not possible to devise absolutely foolproof, 100% reliable software. No matter how hard we try, there is always a possibility that something can go wrong. The best we can do is to reduce the probability of failure to an "acceptable" level. In this dissertation, we will explain basic networking concepts including different categories of networks, transmission media, switching techniques. Our primary focus was on understanding basic fault tolerance methods and how we can take back up of our system and successfully recover from failure. We have discussed some well known backup plans and recovery techniques. In our proposed method, we have ...
