<p>This project report defines network robustness and
discusses capability indicators that could be used to analyze
network robustness. Growing dependence on telecommunication
networks and recent network outages have focused attention on
network robustness. The National Communications System
(NCS), a confederation of 23 Federal departments and
agencies, has been concerned with network robustness since
its formation in 1963. The NCS is developing and implementing
systems and services that enhance the capability of
the public switched networks to support critical Government
communication requirements during times of crisis or
emergency. Quantitative indicators of network robustness are
needed to analyze the benefits of these enhancements. This
project proposes a set of candidate capability indicators
that could be used by the NCS in future analyses of the
public switched networks with and without network
enhancements.</p> / Master of Science
