How to Evaluate Downtime?

Downtime evaluator uses Downtime = (Uptime-Availability*Uptime)/Availability to evaluate the Downtime, Downtime refers to the period during which the system or specific services provided by the system are unavailable or non-operational. It represents the time when users are unable to access or utilize the telecommunication services due to a system failure, maintenance activity, or other factors that disrupt the normal operation of the switching system. Downtime is denoted by d symbol.
