Abstract: A device determines traffic and costs associated with a network that includes network devices interconnected by links, and determines traffic assignments for the network based on the traffic and the costs associated with the network. The device determines tunnel use for the network based on the traffic assignments, and determines peer link use for the network based on the tunnel use. The device determines costs associated with the traffic assignments, the tunnel use, and the peer link use for the network, and generates traffic plans based on the traffic assignments, the tunnel use, the peer link use, and the costs associated with the traffic assignments, the tunnel use, and the peer link use. The device causes one of the traffic plans to be implemented in the network by the network devices and the links.

Abstract: A device receives network data associated with a network that includes network devices interconnected by links at an Internet protocol (IP) layer and an optical layer of the network. The device receives constraints associated with determining a network plan for the network, where the constraints include a constraint indicating a particular time period associated with determining potential network plans for the network. The device identifies variables and values of the variables for the network plan based on the network data, and determines, within the particular time period, the potential network plans for the network based on the constraints and the values of the variables. The device identifies a potential network plan, of the potential network plans, that minimizes costs associated with operating the network, and causes the identified potential network plan to be implemented in the network by the network devices.

Abstract: A device receives network data associated with a network that includes a peer network with network devices interconnected by links, and receives constraints associated with determining traffic assignments for the network. The device determines traffic and costs associated with the network based on the network data, and determines traffic assignments based on the traffic and the costs associated with the network, the constraints, and a model for the constraints. The device determines tunnel use based on the traffic assignments, and determines peer link use based on the tunnel use. The device determines costs associated with the traffic assignments, the tunnel use, and the peer link use for the network, and generates traffic plans based on the traffic assignments, the tunnel use, the peer link use, and the costs. The device causes one of the traffic plans to be implemented in the network by the network devices and the links.

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 receives network data associated with a network that includes network devices interconnected by links, and receives parameters associated with determining a network plan for the network. The device generates candidate links for each potential network plan of multiple potential network plans for the network, based on the parameters and based on a criterion associated with generating the candidate links. The device generates candidate paths for each potential network plan based on the parameters, and selects a portion of the candidate links and a portion of the candidate paths. The device generates each potential network plan based on the portion of the candidate links and the portion of the candidate paths, and identifies a potential network plan, of the multiple potential network plans, that reduces resource usage associated with operating the network. The device causes the potential network plan to be implemented in the network.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for virtualizing customer-premises equipment may include (1) receiving, at a service provider's network, at least one flow of network traffic from a remote device included in a user's private network, (2) identifying, 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) determining 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 and the potentially non-unique private address, and then (4) translating 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 systems, methods, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
