Forecasting on Inter-office Facility Based on Congestion-Sensitive Internet Traffic Flow

Traffic congestion has become inevitably exuberant at the edge nodes of metroand/or wide-area networks due to the triple play transports of voice, data and video information globally supported on the bricolage of modern Internet. Commensurately, the local exchange carriers improvise necessary infrastructure at the physical-layer level across the entire turf of the service area. Pertinent to this context, the scope of this study is to evaluate the conjectural impact on trunk terminations (and related facility) that decide the forecasts on network access line (NAL) requirements at the traditional circuit-switches (of T1hierarchy) located in the premises of a central office (CO) where the changing trends in traffic patterns of telecommunication transports are encountered. For optimal engineering designs of interoffice facility, the dynamics of such NAL requirements is modeled in terms of traffic profiles measured in terms of centum-call-second metric at CO terminations.
