Control of Pure IP Networks: from Art to Science

In pure IP networks, a few simple levers, the IGP and BGP metrics and preferences, are used to control link utilizations and avoid congestion. Between this simple input and output is a vast black box in which huge numbers of traffic routings interact in complex ways. Cariden’s technology makes the black box transparent:

• Demand matrices are modeled and predicted using observed utilizations and behavior of the network.
• The network is simulated under SRLG failure scenarios, service class interactions are modeled to ensure QoS, bottlenecks are identified.
• Metrics are optimized to achieve desired engineering goals: resilient throughput maximization, bounds on latencies, desired service class mix. Performance typically approximates that achievable by complete explicit routing control.

With the transparency, predictability and optimization provided by the Cariden system, the art of pure IP network control has become a science.
