TECHNOLOGICAL MODEL AND SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY OF THE MULTISERVICE COMMUNICATION NETWORK FUNCTIONING

The modern development of multiservice communication networks (MÑN) is characterized by the desire of operators to provide users with an unlimited range of services with guaranteed quality of service (QoS). QoS is determined by the stability of the network’s functioning, that is, its ability to function without errors. The existing routing algorithms in modern networks focus the main load on the most productive sections, while the rest of the network is used quite poorly. This is confirmed by the results of studies [1,2], in which the structure of modern global communication networks is assigned to the class of small-world graphs. Obviously, that the increased connectivity of such networks determines high indicators of its stability, but at the same time, this route redundancy is poorly used by existing routing protocols to provide QoS when transmitting different traffic (triple-play: audio, video, and data) [3, 4]. There is also no work devoted to the analysis of the possibilities of sharing different routes (route parallelism) for the implementation of QoS enhancement mechanisms in the MÑN. This article discusses the technological concept of a network with route parallelism in communication networks built on the basis of the IP protocol family.
