Abstract
Availability, one of the important metrics used to assess the performance of network system, is defined as the probability that a system is operational at a given point in time under a given set of environmental conditions. To improve the availability of the network service, the redundancy models and the rejuvenation schemes are the effective schemes to be typically used. In this paper, we analyse the effect of 2N redundancy model and/or rejuvenation scheme on the availability of network service. The 2N redundancy model consists of one active and one standby component and the performance of time-based rejuvenation scheme mainly depends on its rejuvenation period. We design stochastic reward net model for the 2N redundancy model with time-based rejuvenation scheme and analyse the service availability of the model using stochastic Petri net package. We provide some numerical examples of the service availability, which shows that the system with rejuvenation has higher availability than the system without rejuvenation.
