 Abstract

The  technological  evolution  of  packet  based  network  elements  (NEs)  has  required  the  necessity  of  meeting  reliability  objectives  set  by  legacy  circuit  switched  NEs.   In  order  to  achieve  these  objectives,  the  NE  design  must  focus  and  understand  early,  reliability  centric  design  principles.   This  paper  will  define  current  reliability  expectations  set  by  customers  and  with  practical  judgment,  optimized  reliability  tasks  to  meet  those  expectations  with  design  cost  considered.   System  reliability  engineering  will  discuss  predictions,  system  modeling,  testing,  and  field  metrics.
