TLDR
In this paper, a network having known network parameters is evaluated based on determined network capacity, utilization, and efficiency attributes relative to different traffic constraints and routing constraints applied to the network parameters.Abstract:
A network having known network parameters is evaluated based on determined network capacity, utilization, and efficiency attributes relative to different traffic constraints and routing constraints applied to the known network parameters. Each of the network capacity, utilization, and efficiency attributes have prescribed definitions based on the network parameters and relative to the different traffic constraints and routing constraints, and are determined based on linear programming computations of the respective prescribed definitions and the network parameters. The network capacity, utilization, and efficiency attributes can then be applied to computer-based optimization resources configured for determining optimum network parameters for the network.read more

System and method predicting and managing network capacity requirements
TL;DR: In this article, a system and method for maintaining capacity of a network is presented, where instructions are adapted to define future times at which a capacity of the network is evaluated. But the authors do not consider the impact of the future times on the network performance.
Patent
Access control for packet-oriented networks
TL;DR: In this article, an admissibility check for a group of packets is carried out by means of a threshold value (BBB(i,j)) for the traffic volume between the network input node (I) and the network output node (E) for the flow.

Alp Dibirdi,Hansen Chan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the available bandwidth capacities of leased links are advertised using an L2 Ethernet frame in a form similar to the routing protocol used in the communications network to avoid additional strain and complexity in the network due to additional protocols for traffic engineering.

Method for building virtual private networks using routers
Eric Rosenberg,James Uttaro +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a method for forming a communications network using routers, where the first step is analyzing a router location to determine if the router location is VPN resource constrained or interface-constrained.
Patent
Constraint based routing with non-transitive exceptions
TL;DR: In this paper, a method and a network element for providing a constraint-based routing system to accommodate non-transitive exceptions is presented, where the method and network element receive a connection request for an end-to-end connection and the network element confirms whether the shared network resource of the selected pair of links is contained within the exception database.

Route determining method in a multi protocol label switching network
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a route determining method for MPLS networks, where the edge router removes links of remaining capacity below the traffic demand from all links of a given MPLS network to produce the first network topology.
