    Abstract: An apparatus may (1) receive, at the service provider's network, at least one flow of network traffic from a remote device included in a user's private network, (2) identify, within the flow of network traffic, at least one potentially non-unique private address that represents the remote device with respect to the user's private network, (3) determine, at least one unique routable address that represents the remote device with respect to the service provider's network based at least in part on a network interface assigned to the user's private network, the potentially non-unique private address, and the address-translation table, and then (4) translate, in response to determining the unique routable address, the potentially non-unique private address to the unique routable address to facilitate routing return network traffic to the remote device in connection with the flow of network traffic. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A traffic planning platform may receive information related to a traffic flow including a traffic bandwidth to transport through a network with various network devices interconnected by links. The traffic planning platform may generate a traffic plan by assigning the traffic flow to a set of the links that includes network resources connecting a source of the traffic flow to a destination of the traffic flow. The traffic planning platform may render a visualization of the traffic plan, wherein the visualization includes a user interface (e.g., a diagram, an animation, and/or the like) in which geometric shapes that represent the source, the peer link, and the destination are connected by bands that represent the tunnel and the external route and further in which the geometric shapes and the bands each have a first visual property and a second visual property based on the traffic bandwidth of the traffic flow.

    Abstract: A device may receive a set of design parameters for a network service. The set of design parameters may include information that identifies one or more network functions associated with the network service. The device may determine attribute information associated with a plurality of virtual network functions (VNFs). A VNF, of the plurality of VNFs, may be configurable to perform at least one network function of the one or more network functions. The device may generate a network service design, associated with providing the network service, based on the set of design parameters and the attribute information. The network service design may include information identifying one or more VNFs, of the plurality of VNFs, that are capable of providing the network service in accordance with the set of design parameters. The device may provide information associated with the network service design.
