Summary
This chapter is dedicated to examining technologies and strategies for improved resilience of information and communications networks. Initially, this chapter describes typical service requirements for information and communications networks by discussing services provision expectations. These expectations are presented in context by describing typical regulatory environments observed in the United States and other countries, placing special attention on emergency 911 regulations. The second part of this chapter provides an overview of most commonly observed strategies and technologies used to improve resilience. These strategies and technologies include resources management approaches, as well as hardware- and software-based technologies.
