AI中文摘要：
数十亿用户将互联网连接视为理所当然，日常使用它访问部署在全球各地的应用。用户感知到的终端设备与应用服务器之间的无缝连接，涉及由不同主体运营的复杂系统集合。若通信网络缺乏韧性，这些系统中任何一个发生故障都会中断用户与应用的连接。由于通信网络是信息通信技术（ICT）的关键基础设施，现实中的运营商很少披露相关信息，这使得测量应用部署的端到端韧性变得困难，因为需要推测相关系统的拓扑结构和可用性。本文提出DRACO，一个用于建模通信网络并测量应用部署端到端韧性的框架，它支持在任意通信网络中配置应用部署，并评估其可用性、鲁棒性和韧性。我们通过建模德国和法国的全国性应用部署，展示了DRACO的功能范围，突出了它与各类公共数据源及合成数据的兼容性。
英文摘要：
Billions of users take Internet connectivity for granted and use it daily to access applications deployed anywhere around the globe. What users perceive as a seamless connection between their end device and the application server involves a complex system of systems operated by various actors. Failures in any of these systems disrupt user-to-application connectivity if the communication network is not resilient. Since communication networks are a critical infrastructure as part of ICT, real-world operators rarely disclose information about them. This makes it difficult to measure the end-to-end resilience of deployments, because it requires guessing topologies and the availability of the involved systems. This paper presents DRACO, a framework for modeling communication networks and measuring end-to-end resilience of application deployments. It enables configuring application deployments across arbitrary communication networks and evaluating their availability, robustness, and resilience. We demonstrate the functional scope of DRACO by modeling nationwide application deployments in Germany and France, highlighting its compatibility with a wide variety of public data sources and synthetic data.
