Abstract

Communication networks have rapidly become one of the key elements of a critical infrastructure essential for everyday operation of our society. In particular, the Internet – a global communication network – is expected to be always available. Any disruption of end-to-end routing, even lasting for a short time, commonly results in serious economic losses, as well as remarkably affects reputation of the network provider.

In this chapter, we highlight the main reasons for failures of network nodes/links, as well as discuss their negative outcomes for the society. Later part of this chapter is to characterize the objectives of this book concerning network resilience, in particular referring to the analysis of challenges responsible for faults of network elements, classification of resilience disciplines, and presentation of new solutions to provide resilience of three emerging network architectures, including: (1) the Internet of the Future, (2) Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) especially vulnerable to weather-based disruptions of high-frequency wireless links, and (3) Vehicular Ad-hoc NETworks (VANETs) encountering link availability problems due to high mobility of vehicles.
