Abstract

Broadcasting concerns transmitting information from a node of a communication network to all other nodes. We consider this problem assuming that links and nodes of the network fail independently with given probabilities p q n-node network is said to be ε-safe, if source information is transmitted to all fault-free nodes with probability at least 1 - n-ε. For any p q 0 we show a class of n-node networks with maximum degree O(log n) and ε-safe broadcasting algorithms for such networks working in logarithmic time.
