Managing Traffic Growth in Telecom Mesh Networks (Invited Paper)

Abstract

Telecom mesh networks require periodic upgrades to support increasing traffic. Such upgrades, which are known as network engineering (NE), determine the network resources that must be provided to meet the network performance while minimizing the network cost. To handle traffic growth, we introduce a new parameter namely network-cut exhaustion probability. We develop a method to calculate this parameter and evaluate specific upgrade requirements of telecom mesh network.
