Abstract

The Warsaw metropolitan network is undergoing a radical architectural and technological transformation. The transformation, forced by the large unrealized demand for telephone stations, and structural traffic bottlenecks, is based on the installation of eight digital transit switches of high capacity. The so-formed upper transit layer gives an opportunity for the deployment of an efficient traffic routing system, for carrying the growing traffic well beyond the year 2000 without additional investments. A step-wise strategy is presented far the deployment of a modern traffic routing system in the Warsaw network, adapted to, and taking advantage of the fast transformation of the network. The choice of the strategy is based on a case study of the traffic handling efficiency of various routing systems in a model of the Warsaw metropolitan network
