Abstract
In the computational experiments on a flow model of a communication and control network, changes in the system’s functional characteristics under destructive effects are studied. The removal of a subset of edges is considered to be critical damage if it results in the absence of connection paths for at least one pair of source-sink nodes. For each case of damage, both the total number of disconnected pairs and all communication directions, the throughput of which is less than the specified standard value, are determined. Based on the data obtained, multiparameter diagrams are constructed for assessing changes in the maximum flows for each dividing cut and all pairs of vertices. The boundary points on the diagrams correspond to the most dangerous damage not dominated by at least one damage indicator. The results of the effects of destructive effects on network systems with various structural features are analyzed.
