We consider the problem of computing minimum congestion, fault-tolerant, redundant assignments of messages to faulty parallel delivery channels. In particular, we are given a set M of faulty channels, each having an integer capacity c i and failing independently with probability f i . We are also given a set of messages to be delivered over M, and a fault-tolerance constraint (1– e), and we seek a redundant assignment φ that minimize congestion Cong(φ), i.e. the maximum channel load, subject to…

Both algorithms are based on computing a collection {K1, \ldots, Kν}of disjoint channel subsets such that, with probability no less than (1-ɛ) , at least one channel is active in each subset, and the objective is to maximize the sum of the minimum subset capacities.
