Abstract
Modern telecommunications network design and examples of possible causes of service interruption are examined, using AT&T 800 Service for illustration. Different methods of assuring service technically are presented. It is shown how end-to-end service reliability can be improved by using the techniques described, applying them to 800 Service as an example. Techniques used to restore generic switched services or private line services after a failure within a network are also presented.
