Effect of reduction method on the performance a software defined network system using Gumbel Hougaard family copula distribution

Abstract

This study examines a system that consists of three subsystems 1, 2 and 3. These three subsystems are each linked together in series. Subsystem 1’s three units are wired in series, subsystem 2’s three units are wired in parallel and operating under the 2-out-of-3: G; policy, and subsystem 3’s three units are wired in parallel and operating under the 1-out-of-3: G; policy. Units and subsystems failure rates are constant and follow an exponential distribution. The repair rate follow two types of distributions, namely general and Gumbel Hougaard family copula distribution. The system was studied using Laplace transforms and supplementary variable methods. For specific values of the failure and repair rates, availability, reliability, mean time to failure (MTTF), and cost analysis have been assessed. As a means to improve the system’s overall effectiveness and availability, a reduction strategy is utilized. Tables and graphs are used to display computed results.
