Demonstrating the PlaNet-PTN Module : a Single Layer Design Tool for Packet Transport Networks

• PlaNet is a multilayer network planning tool developed at the University of Texas at Dallas. This demo willillustrate some of the features of PlaNet-PTN, one of the modulesavailable in the PlaNet tool. PlaNet-PTN can be used to designand plan a single layer packet transport network (PTN). Qualityof protection, routing constraints, minimization of the networkequipment cost, and user’s desired run time of the tool are justsome examples of the features available in PlaNet. As shown inthe demo, the PlaNet-PTN planning module is able to provide,among others, optimization of LSP-tunnel routes, link capacityplacement, node and link equipment configuration.
