FRAMEWORK FOR INTELLIGENT NETWORK DESIGN
Keywords:
Network design constraints, resource planning, switched network, EthernetAbstract
Designing a network can be a challenging task. A network that consists of only 50Â meshed routing nodes can pose complex problems that lead to unpredictable results. Attempting to optimize networks that feature thousands of nodes can pose even more complex problems. In this paper, we propose network design framework to simplify the complexities associated with analyzing customer network problems and creating scalable solutions which can provide suggestions to the network designer to use frameworks for a particular network design. This framework may also act as a network analyzer to suggest various steps to be implemented to improve the performance of the current network.
