Description
Summary:The advanced techniques presently used by AT&T to manage traffic flow in its Worldwide Intelligent Network are described. The role of traffic network management strategies is reviewed, and the scope and routing plan of the AT&T Worldwide Intelligent Network are characterized. Three examples of modern protective controls are considered: selective trunk reservation, hard-to-reach process, and selective dynamic overload control. Advanced network management expansive controls and AT&T's traffic network management support systems are examined. Dynamic graphical analysis of network data, interactive training of network managers, and future trends impacting traffic network management are discussed.< >
