OPNET's SP Guru® Network Planner is a software product unique in its ability to model Layer 2/3 networks, including routers, switches, firewalls, protocols, and traffic demands. SP Guru® Network Planner enables service providers to intelligently manage large-scale, multi-technology, multi-vendor networks, to accelerate new service deployment, optimize the return on existing resources, and reduce operational risk.

Inspect network utilization for current and future traffic demands, and identify bottlenecks and network vulnerabilities.

Key Features

• Project traffic growth and automatically size links and tunnels to meet service level objectives
• Perform automated off-line MPLS traffic engineering, leveraging exclusive OPNET algorithms that ensure service survivability
• Predict the network MOS score for planned voice-over-IP services with an automated VoIP Readiness Assessment

• Automate analysis and planning for transition to IPv6 with a wizard-driven IPv6 Readiness Assessment and automated IPv6 planning

• Ensure network survivability, predicting the impact of failing nodes, links, or resource groups
• Optimize QoS configurations
• Accelerate the "learning curve" associated with new technology deployment in SP Guru® Network Planner's virtual network environment
