Otimização de provisionamento de largura de banda para internet utilizando redes de Petri na modelagem de comportamento de clientes e provedores

Abstract

The problem of provisioning bandwidth in network is handled by analytical methods that allow the use of optimization techniques in order to provide directing in decisions to be taken in choosing the final solution of an ISP (Internet Services Provider). With Petri nets, it was created a structure that is capable of representing the behavior of an Internet network and perform the simulation and with the help of the use of Profiles, to study the stimulus from a client on the network of an ISP. The Profiles are algorithms based on demands of customers according to their type of use. This structure was used to working together with an evolutionary optimization algorithm, which was intended to achieve improvements to the design of the network of an ISP.
