Antifragility is an economics term defined as measure of (monetary) benefits gained from the adverse events and variability of the markets. This paper integrates for the first time the antifragility into the network based on communication links with Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) affected by a jamming attack. We analyze whether antifragility can be achieved for several jamming models. Beyond the link-level gains, the results reveal how antifragile RIS-assisted links can be integrated into multi-hop systems to improve end-to-end network resilience, connectivity, and throughput under adversarial effects.
