    摘要: A method for planning a multi-phase network includes storing initial parameter values for parameters associated with first and second growth phases in a multi-phase network plan, wherein each of the first and second growth phases is characterized by sets of the parameters. The method also includes calculating an initial growth scenario including the first and second growth phases based on the initial parameter values, and adjusting a value for at least one of the parameters to produce a modified parameter value. The method further includes automatically calculating a new growth scenario based on the modified parameter value and at least a portion of the initial parameter values, and displaying the new growth scenario. A computer readable medium for implementing the method described herein is also provided.

    摘要: Optical regeneration is expensive to implement and maintain. A method or corresponding apparatus in an example embodiment of the present invention enables a user to plan an optical regeneration in a network with a reduction of optical regeneration compared to unplanned deployment. An optical regeneration planning tool according to an example embodiment of the present invention can graphically display a representation of a network topology with optical regeneration sites and enable the user to plan optical regenerations at a subset of the sites as a function of characteristics of models of optical network elements and paths within the network topology. Through use of the optical regeneration planning tool, a service provider can save on network deployment and future servicing of optical regeneration equipment.

    摘要: Fault management and providing resilience against failures is an useful for many networks. Protection techniques are used to ensure that networks can continue to provide reliable service and to provide redundant capacity within a network to reroute traffic in presence of a failure. A method or corresponding apparatus according to an example embodiment of the present invention relates to determining availability in a network. The example embodiment calculates availability on a per demand basis for working, protection, and restoration paths among all demands in the network and reports the availability. The reported availability may be used to plan and suggest changes to the network or to recommend addition of equipment to improve the availability of the network while ensuring that service level agreements are satisfied.
