A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : A Framework for Measuring Network Complexity Author(s) : Alvaro Retana Russ White Filename : draft-retana-network-complexity-framework-00.txt Pages : 10 Date : 2013-03-14 Abstract: Network architecture revolves around the concept of fitting the design of a network to its purpose; of asking the question, "what network will best fit these needs?" A part of fitting network design to requirements is the problem of complexity, an idea often measured by "seat of pants" methods. When would adding a particular protocol, policy, or configuration be "too complex?" This document suggests a series of continuums along which network complexity might be measured. No suggestions are made in measuring complexity for each of these continuums are provided; this is left for future documents.
