摘要
The rapid pace of technology introduction in the network infrastructure and services offered on this infrastructure are creating new challenges for telecommunication product and network planners. In particular, a multitude of choices, the unpredictability of future technologies and traffic, the need to operate heterogeneous networks, and the speed of change create a need for a set of fools which allow quantitative evaluation of alternatives quickly in early phases of decision making while allowing the same loots to migrate to more elaborate deployment help during the later stages. We have begun an effort to create such a set of tools under the umbrella of Integrated Network Design Tools (INDT). In this article, we describe key challenges and approaches used in [NDT to meet these challenges. We also discuss the algorithmic and software architecture of INDT, and illustrate its use via examples from transport. infra structure evolution. Finally, we describe the migration path of INDT to move from early decision help to later deployment support tools.
