A Quantitative Evaluation of a Wide-Area Distributed System with SDN-FIT
Hiroki Kashiwazaki, Hiroki Takakura, Shinji Shimojo · 2020
A wide-area distributed application is affected by network failure due to natural disasters because the servers on which the application operates are distributed geographically in a wide area. Failure Injection Testing (FIT) is a method for verifying fault tolerance of widely distributed applications. In this paper, by limiting network failures only to the connection line, whole FIT scenarios are generated, and exhaustive evaluation of fault tolerance is performed. The authors propose a method to omit the evaluations from the aspect of topological constraint conditions. And they evaluate the visualization method of performance data obtained from this evaluation and the reduction of the fault tolerance evaluation cost by the proposed method.
