Abstract:
1. A method for co-modelling a simulated packet network and a simulated optical network over which the simulated packet network operates on a computer comprising a processor and a computer-readable medium storing computer executable instructions for co-modelling the simulated packet network and the simulated optical network, the simulated packet network representing a plurality of packet links between packet network nodes and the simulated optical network representing a plurality of optical links between optical network nodes, the method comprising the steps of: the processor generating a basic packet capacity comprising a capacity value for each packet link based on packet network topology information and packet traffic information; and the processor generating a basic optical capacity comprising a capacity value for each optical link based on optical network topology information and the basic packet capacity, wherein the combination of the basic packet capacity and the basic optical capacity applied to the simulated packet network and a simulated optical network produce a co-modelled simulated packet transport network; wherein the step of the processor generating a basic packet capacity further comprises the steps of: wherein the step of the processor generating a basic optical capacity comprises the steps of:
