Abstract: | The need for integration of network and operations planning is discussed. A functional planning approach is suggested, and a current functional plan for near-term operations is presented. A functional approach to longer range operations is then discussed, starting with a list of desired attributes for the next-generation network. These attributes are analyzed with respect to the demands they make on architecture and operations functions |
