The growing importance of real-time computing in numerous applications poses problems for network architectures. This research proposes a model for evaluating safety-critical real-time Wide Area Networks (WANs), using assessment and performance requirements for highly reliably and dependable real-time networks, incorporating both human and technical performance criteria.
