Abstract:
In an example, there is disclosed a computing apparatus, having: one or more logic elements, including at least a processor and a memory, providing a network simulation engine to: periodically perform a network traffic simulation; cache at least one network traffic simulation in a traffic state cache; receive a quest for additional network demand; and compute a network delta based at least in part on a difference between the request for additional network demand and the traffic state cache.

Claim (Index 8):
A computing apparatus, comprising:\n one or more logic elements, including at least a processor and a memory, comprising a network simulation engine to provide a two-stage demand engineering process for a software-defined network including: during a first stage of the demand engineering process:\n poll the software-defined network to obtain a network topology and traffic data for the software-defined network; \n simulate routing of a first set of traffic demands on the obtained network topology to determine a set of link utilizations for each link in the software-defined network; and \n cache at least one set of link utilizations in a link utilization cache; and \n during a second stage of the demand engineering process:\n receive a request for additional traffic demand; \n in response to the request, simulate routing of a second set of traffic demands on the obtained network topology to determine a new set of link utilizations for each link in the software-defined network, wherein the second set of traffic demands includes only the additional network demand not included in the first set of traffic demands; and \n combine the new set of link utilizations for the additional network demand with the at least one set of link utilizations in the link utilization cache to provide a newly-derived utilization model for the software-defined network.
