In this work, we propose an analytic framework for dimensioning the link capacity of broadband access networks which provide universal broadband access services to a diverse kind of customers such as patient and impatient customers. The proposed framework takes into account the flow-level quality of service (QoS) of a connection as well as the packet-level QoS, via which a simple and systematic provisioning and operation of the network are provided. To that purpose, we first discuss the necessity of flow-aware network dimensioning by reviewing the networking technologies of the current and future access network. Next, we propose an analytic model for dimensioning the link capacity for an access node of broadband convergence networks which takes into account both the flow and packet level QoS requirements. By carrying out extensive numerical experiment for the proposed model assuming typical parameters that represent real network environment, the validity of the proposed method is assessed.

B-ISDN link dimensioning is often known as a difficult problem because of the characteristics of Asynchronous Transfer Mode(ATM) such as various Quality of Services of different service requirements, and the statistical multiplexing resulting from virtual path/virtual circuit connections. In this paper, we propose a nonlinear integer optimization model for dimensioning B-ISDN considering the statistical multiplexing effects of virtual path connections(VPCs) and the modularity of resources allocated to a transmission link. The algorithm based on the simultaneous linear approximation technique as well as some numerical results will be also presented.

This work proposes an analytic framework to estimate the capacity of the link in an M2M gateway that multiplexes a massive number of machine type communication devices. First, we specify the network architecture for M2M communications. Next, we summarize the characteristics of M2M traffic, from which we extract an area about the problem that has to be resolved in the dimensioning of the link capacity. After that we propose a new method to determine the capacity of the link in an M2M gateway. Via numerical experiment reflecting the realistic environment of M2M traffic, we illustrate the validity of the proposed model.

ATM network design procedure is different from the current circuit or packet networks design procedure because of the variety of the offered services and the variability of requested bandwidth for each connection of ATM network. A number of optimization models for the link dimensioning of ATM network design have been proposed in the literature. However, most of the literature did not consider the modularity of resources allocated to a transmission path and the non-bifurcation of a VP link over the more than one TP, which are standardized in recent ITU-T Recommendations. In thIs paper, we propose a mathematical model for link dimensioning of ATM networks, based on the network synthesis method and a generalized bin-packing problem. The suggested model satisfies the constraints mentioned in the ITU-T Recommendations. We also propose efficient and practical algorithms for the suggested model. Computational experiment shows that the suggested algorithm gives efficient solutions even for moderate and large-sized networks within reasonable time.

In this work we investigate the power of power law in the VoD service over IP network. Especially, we show that the power of power law is strong in the location of the contents storage for the VoD service and its impact on the link dimensioning. This work first shows the instance of the power law in the popularity of the video contents from the real data for the IPTV service. After that we propose an analytic model that characterizes the behavior of customers in accessing the video servers as well as the power law in the viewing pattern. Finally, we show the impact of the power law by proposing a model for the cost as well as link dimensioning. Via numerical experiment we show the implication of the proposition.

Recently, Internet service providers are offering triple play service which combines voice and video services with the existing high speed Internet service under the common network infrastructure of IP protocol, so that they can create more benefit from operating a single network architecture. In line with this movement in the convergence of network and services, in this work we propose a bandwidth dimensioning method for the subscriber network of the IP network at flow level. To that purpose, let us propose a series of bandwidth dimensioning methods: bandwidth for best effort service only, bandwidth dimensioning for premium services, and bandwidth dimensioning schemes for the premium Internet services as well as the best effort service which comprise the TPS. Our link dimensioning method is based on the flow level that incorporates the flow blocking probability as a measure of grade of services(GoS), and investigates the characteristics of the proposed methods via extensive numerical experiments. After that, let us carry out a simulation experiment concerning the delay and loss performance of the packet scheduling for the premium services (QoS) using the bandwidth designed by our proposed method, via which the packet level quality of service (QoS) for the proposed link dimensioning method can be observed.

Current existing network dimensioning method simply relies on long-time measurement data or uses average traffic characteristics of users. In this paper, we propose an efficient network dimensioning method for DiffServ over MPLS networks. First, User's SLA information is distributed from edge nodes to core nodes according to the proposed algorithm. Then at each link, class-based capacity planning is performed. For capacity planning, we proposed sets of network design parameters for DiffServ classes and bandwidth allocation schemes that are most suitable for each class. We have developed a DiffServ over MPLS network design tool using the proposed method. Simulation results show that our proposed method is able to design efficiently the required class link resources.

This paper considers a challenging problem: to simultaneously optimize the cost and the quality of service in opaque wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks. An optimization problem is proposed that takes the information including network topology, traffic between end nodes, and the target level of congestion at each link/ node in WDM networks. The outputs of this problem include routing, link channel capacities, and the optimum number of switch ports locally added/dropped at all switch nodes. The total network cost is reduced to maintain a minimum congestion level on all links, which provides an efficient trade-off solution for the network design problem. The optimal information is utilized for dynamic traffic in WDM networks, which is shown to achieve the desired performance with the guaranteed quality of service in different networks. It was found that for an average link blocking probability equal to 0.015, the proposed model achieves a net channel gain in terms of wavelength channels (𝛾_w) equal to 35.72 %, 39.09 %, and 36.93 % compared to shortest path first routing and 𝛾_w equal to 29.41 %, 37.35 %, and 27.47 % compared to alternate routing in three different networks.

Recently IPTV service is penetrating to the ordinary home users very swiftly. One of the first phase of IPTV service is considered to be VoD, and a nationwide availability of the VoD service imposes tremendous pressure to the network resource due to its requirements for the broad bandwidth, the inherent nature of unicast technology, and the large scalability, etc. This work suggests a novel and practical method to the design of network resource for the VoD service. Especially, we explore the distributed content storage problem that takes into account the popularity of the video contents and its corresponding link dimensioning problem that takes into account the grade of service for the flow level quality of service about the VoD service. By assuming a realistic topology for the nationwide IP backbone network of Korea, which is a typical tree topology, we suggest an analytic method for the design of VoD service.

This article discusses a capacity planning method in QoS-guaranteed IP networks such as BcN (Broadband convergence Network). Since IP based networks have been developed to transport best-effort data traffic, the introduction of multi-service component in BcN requires fundamental modifications in capacity planning and network dimensioning. In this article, we present the key issues of the capacity planning in multi-service IP networks. To provide a foundation for network dimensioning procedure, we describe a systematic approach for classification and modeling of BcN traffic based on the QoS requirements of BcN services. We propose a capacity planning framework considering data traffic and real-time streaming traffic separately. The multi-service Erlang model, an extension of the conventional Erlang B loss model, is introduced to determine required link capacity for the call based real-time streaming traffic. The application of multi-service Erlang model can provide significant improvement in network planning due to sharing of network bandwidth among the different services.
