METRO ETHERNET BACKBONE NETWORK DESIGN OF SURABAYA CITY IN 2028 USING HEURISTICS GROOMING ALGORITHM AND FORECASTING RAPP’S FORMULA

Telecommunication Engineering

Telecommunications service providers are required to provide adequate service infrastructure for the community due to the high demand. Metro Ethernet is one of the solutions chosen in service provision because capacity can be increased easily. Besides, Surabaya is the second largest city in Indonesia after Jakarta, Surabaya is predicted to have very large traffic in the future. This Final Project is designing a metro ethernet backbone network that is able to meet the needs of Surabaya in 2028 with the traffic forecasting method Rapp’s Formula and designing topology with Traffic. Furthermore, network capacity dimensioning is conducted to ensure all links have good utilization values. The results show that the traffic volume in 2028 grew up to 3 times from the initial traffic. The results of the topology design have four rings with three connecting nodes, KBL, MNR and RKT nodes. The results of network dimensioning show that the results of network design have a good utilization result between 20% and 50%. Although LKS to KRP link and LKS to KNN link results show not to obtain the expected utilization value, which is 1.68% and 3.27%.
