Multi-Layer Network Design

SP Guru Network Planner integrates with SP Guru Transport Planner to perform network analyses that encompass the entire protocol stack, including DWDM, SDH/SONET, ATM, Ethernet, MLPS and IP, including supported services and applications. This provides service providers with unique multi-layer traffic engineering capabilities to optimize network capacity and reliability in IP-over-optical networks

Key Features:

• Accurately design the transport network resources to support the IP/MPLS network and reduce cost by cross-layer capacity optimization
• Guarantee service objectives using multi-layer traffic engineering; taking into account the propagation delay in the underlying transport network, shared risk group links that share the same transport network resources, etc.
• Optimize resiliency and simulate failures across multiple layers, analyzing the interaction of recovery mechanisms at the optical and IP/MPLS layer
