Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to methods, systems, and computer program products for managing access resources in an Internet protocol network. Methods include receiving a request for IP network service, the request including a required class of service. A storage device that specifies routers and resources available on the routers is accessed. A router and a port on that router are selected from the specified routers to perform the requested service. The selecting includes verifying that the resources available on the selected router and port can perform the requested service. Instructions are transmitted to a network configuration system to activate the requested service on the selected router and port. The instructions specify a quality of service corresponding to the required class of service. The storage device is updated to reflect the requested service being activated on the selected router and port.

Abstract: A method for calculating a multi-point VLAN latency measure. The method includes receiving a plurality of links for a VLAN. Each link has a first side and a second side and includes a latency value, a count of access switches on the first side of the link and a count of access switches on the second side of the link. A latency counter is initialized to zero. For each link in the VLAN, the count of access switches on the first side of the link is multiplied by the count of access switches on the second side of the link to derive a count of paths that include the link. The count of paths that include the link is multiplied by the latency value associated with the link to derive a total latency for the link. The latency counter is incremented by the total latency value for the link. Once all of the links have been processed, the latency counter is divided by the number of paths in the VLAN to derive the multi-point VLAN latency measure for the VLAN.

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: LNP databases are made locally accessible to one or more CNAM SCP to avoid network traffic associated with LNP routing determinations required with the advent of providers local number portability. All CNAM service queries are routed to the one or more CNAM SCPs for processing. Service routing is determined from the local accessible LNP databases without additional network traffic associated with such routing determinations in conventional systems. Four classes of service provider are defined. Queries for telephone services are routed in accordance with the class of service provider.
