Tool for the routing planning in a large-scale signaling network

This paper describes a planning tool that efficiently supports the design and validation of the SS7 network routing plan at the MTP3 level. The tool incorporates the planning methodology based on graph theoretical methods. These methods have been developed during the recent years within the projects aimed at the dimensioning and planning of the large-scale SS7 networks of Russian operators. © 2003, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
