The Network Availability Program (NAP) enables users to predict the availability and reliability of communication networks. The NAP network availability model utilizes an extended Reliability Block Diagram (RBD) methodology that addresses the specific characteristics of network elements and their connections.
In addition to predicting network availability, NAP also provides criticality rankings that identify weak spots in the network.NAP provides many time-saving features to allow users to quickly construct the network diagram.
These include a parts library facility that allows users to import their parts data in convenient groupings, a network element library facility that allows users to construct common network element diagrams and a fully interactive network diagram construction facility.
