Serial Combination Optimization Method of Packet Transport Network

Abstract

Packet transport network (PTN) has problems such as waste of resources and low network stability due to the excessive complexity of the existing network or improper network architecture design. The optimization of the transport networks can not only make the network structure more reasonable but also reduce all kinds of unexpected scenarios in the network operation, improving the network efficiency and reducing the failure rate. This research will be optimized from three aspects. (1) In order to solve the problem of the same active and standby routing in the existing network, an optimization algorithm for the same active and standby routing of LSP is proposed. The essence of the optimization algorithm is to search the existing routing using the K -shortest path (KSP) between two network nodes as protection routing for LSP protection. (2) Aiming at the link with a high CIR bandwidth occupancy rate, a method is completed without adding optical fibers and other physical resources; an optimization method for the committed information rate bandwidth occupancy rate based on the KSP algorithm is proposed. (3) When the PTN ring formation rate is low, the security of the PTN is seriously reduced. In order to solve the problem of low ring formation rate in the network, this paper proposes a ring formation rate optimization scheme for PTN access layer equipment based on network elements accounting income. Through the experimental verification on the mobile PTN in one city, Hubei Province, the combination optimization method can improve the network LSP protection rate by 24%, the CIR bandwidth occupancy rate is reduced by 13.82%, and the nonring forming rate was reduced by 17.9%. This method improved network stability, reducing the risk of failure in service transportation effectively.
