Design and Simulation of a Reliable Distributed System Based on Fault Tree Analysis

Distributed Systems is the study of geographically separated processors, connected to one another with the help of intermediate devices such as routers and/or switches. Simulation provides an insight into the behavior of these distant apart systems. The internal details like designing, configuring and maintaining a reliable distributed system through protocols that include routing, switching, etc is well understood by this paper. The paper describes how the design of a distributed system be built on a network designer while using leased line, serial ports and Ethernet technologies.
