Many different applications may be handled by the same network. For different applications, the user requirements and failure criterions may be different. The network reliability assessment needs to be conducted from the "application" point Of view In this paper a methodology for network application reliability assessment based on layered indices is proposed. Firstly, the individual application reliability is calculated for each application on the network. Then the network reliability is evaluated considering the relationships among different applications. The contributions of this paper are: (1) a scientific and practical network application reliability assessment method is proposed based on network applications; (2) a hierarchical structure for network application reliability assessment is constructed; (3)four key technologies, component selection, network simplification, application profile modeling, and application reliability assessment, are proposed and analyzed; (4) a computer network is used to illustrate the proposed assessment process.
