Performance Management Tool and Intelligent Classical IP and ARP over Efficient Support in ATM Networks

Abstract

This article describes mathematical programming model that have been developed to evaluate configuration strategies for metropolitan ATM telecommunications networks. The model determines the optimal placement of ATM switch hardware and fiber optic transport. The objective is to specify point to point traffic demand at minimum cost while ensuring specified performance under a core failure contingency. Model result suggests that a simple architecture based on 2 core switch location provides a robust near optimal solution.
