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
informally measured using intuition and subjective experience. 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 on how
to measure complexity for each of these continuums; this is left for
future documents.
