    摘要: A coordinated, or “joint-replenishment,” system to manage the plug-in circuit card capacity in Remote Terminals or any remote location is advantageous for managing ongoing telecommunications growth, Methods and systems facilitate decisions about when to send a technician to an RT to add ADSL line cards, how many, and to which channel banks serving which Distribution Areas. The system is deemed “coordinated” because the inventory position of ADSL ready cable-pairs between the RT and each DA's cross box served by the RT is considered when making the decision of whether or not to dispatch a technician to the RT for the purpose of adding capacity. The control parameters are calculated, updated, and maintained as part of the system at the DA level.

    摘要: A method for automatically designing a switched metro Ethernet data is provided. During execution of the method, data network information, customer demand information, equipment information, and at least one design constraint is received. Based thereon, a potential topology design for the switched metro Ethernet data network is automatically established. The potential topology for the switched metro Ethernet data network can be a tree topology that is rooted at a predetermined hub node and that has a plurality of leaves. Each leaf is located at a customer location. In a particular embodiment, an aggregation node is placed at the hub node. Further, an aggregation node is placed at a predetermined redundant hub node. Additionally, an aggregation node is placed at another location in the tree topology.
