A.2.3 Comparison of System Configurations With Standard and
Fault-Tolerant Communications
The following section gives you a comparison between standard and fault-tolerant
communication for a configuration consisting of a fault-tolerant system, a
fault-tolerant CPU in single operation and a single-channel OS.
By comparison, only the communication components CP and cable were taken into
account.
