The Optical Network Design Using Availability Models to Accept Additional Nodes

Abstract:

It is so obvious that we have to consider factors of costs, the QoS (Quality of Service), and performance analysis for the design of an optical network. The models of Traffic and availability are significant factors for achieving the performance analysis from the initial step to deploying network. But current traffic models are solely used by a single segment. Whole networks are extended from a sing traffic model. On the other hand an availability model is just used to find the rate of hardware failures. In this paper, we implemented an availability model with regional conformance by inversely analyzing the definition of availability. Also, we computed the number of nodes and links to configure the logical topology of optical networks by using our designed availability. Furthermore, we proposed a method to design an optical network by using our novel availability model.
