Your opinion on network analysis in the presence of uncertain events

[mel at beckman.org (Mel Beckman)]

I know of none that take probabilities as inputs. Traditional network simulators, such as GNS3, let you model various failure modes, but probability seems squishy enough that I donâ??t see how it can be accurate, and thus helpful. Itâ??s like that Dilbert cartoon where the pointy haired boss asks for a schedule of all future unplanned outages :)

I took the survey. Itâ??s short and sweet â?? well done!

Thanks a lot, Mel! Highly appreciated!

I do have a question. You ask "Are there any good?â?? Any good what?

I just meant whether existing network analysis tools were any good (or good enough) at reasoning about probabilistic behaviors that people care about (if any).

All the best,
Laurent
