A. Nikolaidis, M. Auster, Serge Asselin, Nigel Bragg · 2013
Data center virtualization and cloud service delivery models are driving the need for Network-as-a-Service offerings. This paper proposes a method for dimensioning networks for such services via Erlang modeling. Dynamic service adjustment and network orchestration are shown to achieve a major reduction in transport capacity requirements.
