4. Network traffic and service quality
Network traffic management: traffic matrix, transit traffic, background traffic.
Aspects of service quality, measurement: QoS/QoE (bandwidth, throughput, delay,
delay jitter).
Network slicing and its implementation methods.

5. Networks’ reliability

SiAn (Simulated Annealing),
SiAl (Simulated Allocation),
GA (Genetic Algorithm).

8. Green networks
Energy consumption of networks.
Optimization of energy consumption: use of renewable energy, "energy harvesting", consolidation, selective shutdown.

9. Network management and operations basics

13. Orchestration tools
Orchestration fundamentals.
Overview of agent-based tools: Puppet, Chef, SaltStack.
Overview of agentless tools: Ansible, Puppet Bolt, SaltStack Salt SSH.

Detailed topics of practical exercises/labs
1. Setup and configure a simple network
2. Applications like AR/VR, IIoT and others
3. Design and optimize PON
4. Optimize cloud applications
5. Optimize national optical backbone
6. Troubleshoot networks
7. Program networks via REST API



The primary objective of “Network Planning and Operations” is to provide students with an insight into the methodology of planning and operations of infocommunication networks. The subject specialises in the related practical knowledge through the practice of elementary planning and operation/configuration methods and the analysis of ready-made solutions. In the framework of the subject, the theoretical foundations of the structures and operations of IP-based networks are reviewed, starting from packet-switched communication through route selection to network services. Task-oriented network modeling based on standard approaches is discussed in detail, as well as the selection and application of practical design and analysis methods. The topic of network registration, configuration and operations is processed by discussing modern DevOps-based methods that support automatic orchestration.
