Abstract
Convergence trends between the WAN Internet area, characterized by best effort service provision, and the real time LAN domain, with requirements for guaranteed services, are identified and discussed. A bilateral evolution is identified, where typical bulk service applications from WAN, such as multi media, migrate into the RT-LAN domain along with the need for extensible and easily maintainable technology, demanded by such applications, to coexist with QoS demanding applications on a common platform. Meanwhile QoS demand-ing dependable applications find their way out into WAN with the emergence of remote service provision, such as supervision and control of decentralized heating facilities and wind based electrical power production. The reliability issue is addressed from a structural viewpoint, where the concept of Structural QoS (SQoS) is defined to support reliability modelling in communication infrastructures. A graph theoretical approach is presented as an approach to reliability management in complex communication infrastructures. Real life examples are provided and specific problems are presented and discussed. Wireless technologies are discussed as a complement, providing not only mobility and installation ease but also a comple-mentary failure profile.
