Multiobjective Network Design for Realistic Traffic Models

Tags:
network design

Overview Network topology design problems find application in several real life scenarios. However, most designs in the past either optimize for a single criterion like delay or assume simplistic traffic models like Poisson. Such assumptions make the solutions inapplicable in the practical world. This paper formulates and solves a multiobjective network topology design problem for a realistic Internet traffic model which is assumed to be self similar. It optimizes for the average packet delivery delay and network layout cost to construct realistic network topologies.

MPLS: The icing on the networking cake?

MPLS potentially solves a fundamental problem that has plagued IP networking. Traditionally, a packet of data sent over an IP network goes straight from the original point to the receiving point following the shortest possible route, regardless of...

Managing convergence - the key points every company should know about

This involves an assessment of all the network hardware and a topology review to identify any possible bottlenecks or problems. The first is an infrastructure testing application that determines the readiness of the network to support voice and...

What are IP VPNs good for?

Infonet is now saying that businesses can buy packet-switched voice over an IP VPN as a standalone product, and then add in other data traffic later on," says Henning Dransfeld, senior analyst for enterprise IP services at Ovum.

VoIP primer: How it works - and what the jargon means

The problems of packet loss, delay and jitter are exacerbated when voice traffic intermingles with packets from other applications. Any 'latency' - the delay in delivering the voice stream from the speaker to the listener - degrades the quality of...

Cisco flags flaws in VoIP and router software

Cisco said: "Sending such a packet to port 9900 of an affected device will cause it to freeze and stop responding to, or passing traffic. After a delay, the device will reset, the company said. An attacker could exploit the security hole by...

Congestion-busting signs tested on motorway

If delays on the motorway climb too high the sign switches from travel time to showing the estimated delay. Travel and delay times may be replaced during major incidents by safety and diversion messages but it is expected that the journey-time...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
