Network Reliability with Use of Various Transmission Media.

The article refers to the impact of damage and dynamic variables on operation of routing protocols and consequently to the whole network (Technical Object - TO) determining its reliability and effectiveness. On this purpose, there was introduced the characteristic of the routing protocols and both an internal and an exterior gateway. Then, it was built the network architecture based on the TCP/IP stack. In the stack, there were created three autonomous systems and one of them was the backbone of the network. What is more, reliability tests, which have been performed, consisted of a resistance to physical damage to the network and dynamically changing parameters of the network as well as performance test.
