Abstract
A method of operating a network system may involve receiving data indicating a configuration of components that are included in the network system, detecting a failure of one of the components, computing an availability (e.g., by calculating the instantaneous availability) of the network system from the data in response to detecting the failure, and storing data indicative of the availability of the network system.
