Computer networking To-do:

I'm reviewing these pages in response to Wikipedia:Deletion policy/Teletraffic Engineering. I have not found an equivalent page in Wikipedia, so I believe this should be kept. A redirect should be made from Network planning to this page.
Having said that, talking as a person who has been directly involved in network planning in several instances, there are several comments to this page.
- too technical - some more care is needed to not rely on technical terms too much
- too much theoretical - practical examples would help
- a bit academic - more relation to commercial realities would be useful.
- some pictures would help.
On the factual side, your rule of thumb is a little difficult to apply directly. For example most datacom networks (including CCS7 networks) should be dimensioned at 20% utilisation, but using that base, then the rule of thumb would be reasonable (actually build out for 10% utilisation).
An important aspect to cover is the level of investment and effort involved in network planning. Many telecomms companies have large departments devoted to it.
Finally, the aspect of radio network planning which is related, should be linked to.
Again, I'd like to say that this page is probably a valuable contribution, if I am right that no other page duplicates it, and should be kept. Mozzerati 15:43, 2005 Apr 9 (UTC)
