Comparing the Complexity of Two Network Architectures

Olivier Z. Zheng, Maaruf Ali and Kashinath Basu


Abstract: A Service Provider has different methods to provide a VPN service to its customers. But which method is the least complex to implement? In this paper, two architectures are described and analysed. Based on the analyses, two methods of complexity calculation are designed to evaluate the complexity of the architecture: the first method evaluates the resources consumed, the second evaluates the number of cases possible.


Keywords: Computer Networks; Internet Topology; Network Complexity; Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS); Virtual Private Networks (VPN).
