Abstract

ITAPAC is the Italian PSDN, organized in eight geographical switching regions covering the whole national territory. It is not easy to plan the ITAPAC network resources on one hand for the network dimension and on the other hand for the two different routing (static and dynamic) used by the nodes. Planner 4 helps network planners resolve problems concerning planning and dimensioning of the ITAPAC network resources. It may be used either as a planning tool, or as a network checking tool. Planner 4 suggests the network dimensioning on the basis of users and traffic forecasts and the system makes it possible to verify node capability and link throughput on the basis of the real traffic
