  • Abstract
    This paper evaluates different architectures for multilayer IP transport networks. The evaluation is based on an exemplary network dimensioning of a reference IP backbone network topology, connecting 63 points of presence (PoPs) in Germany. The network dimensioning results are used for a techno-economic analysis of the different network architectures, taking into account hypothetical but realistic cost models.
