Long-term broadband demand forecasts have been and are crucial for investments decisions, rollouts and dimensioning of the networks. The main broadband access technologies have been DSL and Cable modem (Hybrid Fiber Coax). Also other technologies like fiber (FTTx) and fixed radio access are entering the market. Especially in Japan, Hong Kong and Korea, the growth of FTTx has been significant during the last years. However, the fiber access evolution in Western Europe has been quite modest. To cover the residual broadband market, technologies like WiMAX and mobile broadband are needed. The forecasting models are based on four parameters Logistic models and substitution effects between demands for different broadband technologies. For mobile broadband limited demand data, so far, are available. In addition specific attention is put on FTTx which is the long-term ultimate broadband solution. The long-term FTTx forecasts for Western Europe are dependent of a set of assumptions like time delay, regulatory aspects, degree of densely populated areas etc. The access forecasts for Western Europe show that the dominating technology, DSL, soon start to loose market share.","PeriodicalId":442274,"journal":{"name":"Networks 2008 - The 13th International Telecommunications Network Strategy and Planning Symposium","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124459294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An interworking scheme between the management plane and the control plane for reserved optical path and real-time optical path provisioning is introduced. A scheme is also discussed that synchronizes the network resource status managed by a network resource manager (NRM) to the current network resource status. A new technique is proposed for re-designing the reserved optical paths according to the changes in the current network resources. The management of a real-time optical path through cooperation of the management and control planes is presented. Finally, the feasibility and usability of the proposed schemes are shown based on a prototype system.","PeriodicalId":442274,"journal":{"name":"Networks 2008 - The 13th International Telecommunications Network Strategy and Planning Symposium","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128180950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is shown that currently used network availability metrics cannot fully describe the resiliency of a network. The aim of this paper is to provide metrics that enable network operators to compare different network topology designs assuming a given population distribution. A transport network is considered to be in down state when at least a certain percentage of all subscribers for at least 10 seconds have no connectivity, or have only poor performance. We also present another availability metric named Session Completion Ratio, which is a more user-centric performance indicator since any user with poor performance or no connectivity deteriorates the overall network performance. Simulation results are presented and different transport network topologies are compared based on their availability performance, followed by a case study, where the availability of a network is improved by allocating extra capacity on the links. The results proved that single link failure-tolerant capacity setting leads to high-availability. Finally a tool is presented that helps identifying those parts of the network that have the strongest influence on resiliency.","PeriodicalId":442274,"journal":{"name":"Networks 2008 - The 13th International Telecommunications Network Strategy and Planning Symposium","volume":"130 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121245470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we focus on PCWE with p-cycles and investigate a new design method, highly efficient and scalable, for designing survivable WDM networks. Traditional design methods proceed in two steps: A first step where a large (sometimes huge) number of cycles is enumerated followed by a second step where the selection of the most promising p-cycles is made with the help of combinatorial optimization tools. We develop a new (single step) method based on large scale optimization tools, i.e., column generation techniques, where the generation of cycles is dynamic and embedded within the optimization process. The key advantage of column generation (CG) techniques is that no a priori cycle enumeration step is required ahead of the optimization process: The generation of the relevant cycles, only one or few at a time, is embedded in the optimization process. We conducted intensive computational experiments. Not only do we considered several network instances with quite different topology characteristics, but we also compared our CG-based model and solution method with several existing models and methods from the literature. Results obtained in the experiments on five different network instances, show that the CG-based model and method outperform by far the results of all previous studies, both with respect to the scalability (much smaller computing times for large network instances) but also with respect to the quality of the solutions.","PeriodicalId":442274,"journal":{"name":"Networks 2008 - The 13th International Telecommunications Network Strategy and Planning Symposium","volume":"224 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116310109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
