N2 - Computer networks, widely used by enterprises and individuals nowadays, are still vulnerable when facing traffic injection, human mistakes, malicious attacks and other failures though we spend much more time and cost on security, dependability, performability, survivability, and risk assessment to make the network provide resilient services.
