Multidimensional Network Resilience Analysis

Abstract

When the resilience of a network is analyzed it is often studied alone, but in the real world networks usually interact with other networks establishing dependencies. The Internet at a BGP level is an example of this kind of networks since it not only depends on its own nature and structure but also on the physical Internet network and the electric supply network. This dependencies can be appreciated through the fact that if a physical link of the Internet network fails then one or many links on the BGP network will also fail. Here a network resilience analysis that takes into account the multiple dimensions that a network may have is proposed.
