Reliability Parameters<br />

MTTF: Mean Time to Failure, i.e., the expected time that a system will<br />

operate before the first failure occurs (often term MTBF – Mean Time<br />

Between Failures – is used for repairable systems)<br />

MTTR: Mean Time to Repair, i.e., the average time taken to repair a<br />

system that has failed<br />

MTTR includes the time taken to detect the failure, locate the fault,<br />

repair and reconfigure the system.<br />
