Network Modeler

Software to Optimize Optical Networks

Explore a range of "what if" planning scenarios... fail single or multiple fibers or nodes to force traffic rerouting and gain insight into how your network would behave. Or compare how the network is performing today with what happened last week or last month. Network Modeler’s advanced failure analysis module replicates the dynamics of Sycamore routing protocols, to simulate switch functions, tiered protection levels, and failure events with amazing speed and accuracy.

Network Modeler automates the design process, creating a least-cost, optimally routed and groomed traffic matrix in a matter of seconds. Integration with SilvxManager provides access to live network data, to ensure planners always work with up-to-the-minute information. GUI simplicity makes it easy to navigate within and between network views, see multiple layers of the network simultaneously, and understand the impact of physical layer attributes on demand routing properties. Modeler output can be viewed in real time or exported to spreadsheet software for further analysis.

The Modeler satisfies multiple network design and analysis objectives:

• Optimize designs for ring and mesh networks
• Verify optical mesh resiliency and survivability
• Ensure optimal capacity utilization
• Create workable network migration plans
• Quantify cost savings and efficiency gains
