    Abstract: A packet switched communications network that includes nodes that are interconnected by links, is dimensioned to accommodate committed bandwidths for ports that are connected to packet switched communications network. Bandwidth of a given link that includes first and second ends is provided, based on a link dimensioning rule that is a function of committed bandwidths from ports that are connected to the first end of the given link and ports that are connected to the second end of the given link. The packet switched communications network provider agrees to provide communications service for a customer through the packet switched communications network at a first committed bandwidth. At least some of the links are dimensioned to accommodate the first committed bandwidth. Upon occurrence of degraded performance for the customer over the packet switched communications network, the packet switched communications network provider agrees to provide communications service for the customer at a second committed bandwidth that is greater than the first committed bandwidth. The packet switched communications network provider then dimensions at least some of the links to accommodate the second committed bandwidth.

    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for providing VLAN capacity requirement estimation is provided. The method includes receiving at a computing system a VLAN configuration file that specifies VLAN access ports, VLAN switches and VLAN trunks in a VLAN. A target access port identifier is received at the computing system from a requestor. A target trunk and target switch corresponding to the target access port are determined at the computing system. A bandwidth contribution of the target access port to the VLAN is calculated at the computing system. The calculating is based on a least contribution algorithm that reflects an impact of provisioning the target access port with respect to trunk capacity, and is responsive to the target bandwidth requirement, the target class of service and placement of the target port in the VLAN. The bandwidth contribution is then transmitted to the requestor.

    Abstract: A computer implemented method for facilitating creation of virtual local area networks (VLANs). The method includes: receiving a VLAN name, a class of service and two or more access ports; determining switches and trunks associated with the access ports; searching a VLAN database for the VLAN; and creating a VLAN if said searching does not result in locating the VLAN. The creating includes: selecting a starting access port from the two or more access ports; mapping a base path from the starting access port to another of the access ports, wherein the base path includes one or more of the switches and one or more of the trunks; and adding the base path to the VLAN including the starting access port and said another of the access ports.

    Abstract: A method for facilitating the design and assignment of Ethernet VLANs. The method includes receiving a VLAN name, a class of service and two or more access ports. The switches and trunks associated with the access ports are determined. A VLAN database is searched for the VLAN. A VLAN is created if the searching does not result in locating the VLAN. Creating the VLAN includes selecting a starting access port from the two or more access ports. A base path is mapped from the starting access port to another of the access ports. The base path includes one or more of the switches and one or more of the trunks. The base path is added to the VLAN and includes the starting access port and the other access ports. For each of the two or more access ports not currently located in the VLAN a new path is mapped from the access port to one of the switches in the VLAN. In addition, a new path is added to the VLAN including the access port. The VLAN is then transmitted to the VLAN database.
