Packets, Wavelengths and Multi-Layer De-Optimization |
|
| |
|
 |
Examining the Multi-Layer Optimization (MLO) model and showing that it is not efficient for carrying real-world packet demands, and adding additional operational overheads. Presenting an alternative approach that emphasizes the benefit of congruency between the MPLS layer and the physical layer. This is supported by traffic modelling based on traffic statistics observed in operators’ networks.

Backbone Capacity Planning – A Flow and Analytics Based Approach |
| |
|
 |
• Why having up-to-date data to establish precise performance and capacity baselines is important
• How flow-based intelligence can improve the backbone capacity planning process
• How peering and transit traffic may be impacting backbone QoS and QoE
• How multi-dimensional analysis can expedite the decision process while minimizing financial and legal risks

Backbone Architecture Evolution: Traffic Driven and Multi-layer Collaboration
|
|
| |
|
 |
Backbone challenges today remain in the areas of traffic handling, reliability, cost, and collaboration between technologies. Consensus has been reached that the optimal network design depends on different specific characteristics of the traffic matrix. Looking at major challenges in the backbone, and discussing options and guidelines for designing backbone architecture.
