Paper Abstract:
|
In estimating future broadband infrastructure requirements it is important to be able to accurately model subscriber usage patterns and also to be able to predict future technology trends. Failure to do so may end up with an infrastructure that is not optimally allocated to meet the service needs and demands resulting in a loss of ability to operate effectively in a dynamic and competitive environment. This problem is faced on a wide range range of levels from the smallest local internet cafe all the way to the largest corporations and internet service providers. A method for modeling subscriber usage behavior using a worst case average to represent an extremely diverse portfolio of subscriber usage patterns is described. In addition, it is shown how existing methods used for voice traffic can be used for modeling data traffic and determining future broadband infrastructure requirements in a wide variety of situations. |
