The software defined networking (SDN) paradigm with enhanced features of IPv6 offers flexible network management and better network visibility for enhancing overall network performance, network manageability, and security. Thus, along with the IPv6 network deployment worldwide, SDN migration has emerged worldwide, but network service providers suffer from different issues when migrating their existing legacy network into operable SDN and IPv6 enabled networks. In this paper, we investigate the affordability of broadband network services for the rural communities in the context of information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure deployment throughout Nepal. During the phase of network transformation, it will be more challenging for the service providers of Nepal to have a proper choice of technologies to expand the network while considering the proper policy formulation, affordability, need of skilled human resources, deployment cost, and many other aspects. We also present the service provider affordability via energy optimization in software defined IPv6 network (SoDIP6) implementation that contributes to a reduction in organizational operational expenditure (OpEX). We perform an experimental analysis over an SoDIP6 network testbed and present a comparison of the annual energy and OpEX savings for network service providers. Our empirical analysis shows that an energy saving of 31.50% on switches and 55.44% on links can be achieved with an SoDIP6 network compared to a network with legacy devices and network management. Optimization on service provider network operational cost leads to sustainability and affordable services to both customers and service providers

The deployment of telecommunication infrastructures is a challenge in many parts of South Africa particularly in the rural areas. The challenge has impact of communities' members as they do not have network coverage for Internet in some areas. The challenge gets worse with individual telecommunication service provider. Hence there is technological proposal for sharing of infrastructure by the service providers. However, the sharing of infrastructure is not as easy as notion by many individuals and groups institutions included. The article presents findings from a study on how a South African telecommunication network service provider could deploy shared infrastructures in the country's rural communities. The sharing of infrastructure is described by the structure and actions of agents within the infrastructure sharing process. Structuration theory was employed as a lens in the data analysis. The key findings include insufficient distribution of infrastructure, ownership responsibility, competitiveness, infrastructure deployment cost, and signification of regulation.

Preliminary Study

As competition increases, delivering better service becomes more important; it is not with the expception of PT. Telekomunikasi Indonesia, Tbk (PT TELKOM), which is the only state-owned enterprise as well as the largest telecommunication and network service provider in Indonesia. This is because service quality is considered as an important aspect for the success of the service provider. This study aims to assess the service quality of PT. TELKOM for IndiHome products. A preliminary study showed that there are many customers complaining about IndiHome's service quality. In addition, the tight competition and the emergence of several similar service providers as well as attractive promotion will inevitably attract customers not to be loyal if PT. TELKOM does not immediately improve the quality of the service. This research was conducted not only to assess the service quality of IndiHome (using SERVQUAL), but also to give some recommendations to PT. TELKOM especially Regional 1 Sumatra in order to attain customer satisfaction. There were 153 respondents who participated in this study. The results show that on average, customers are not satisfied (the gap value is −1.539). This negative value means that the customers have high expectations of the services that should be delivered by PT. TELKOM, but in reality the performance of the service is not as high as their expectations. Therefore, some recommendations are given to improve the performance of IndiHome’s service quality so that the customers are satisfied.

It is not surprising that researchers in network technology are utilizing ideas from the field of economics since it provides the conceptual understanding of underlying constructs such as usage and resource allocation. Proper resource allocation plays a key role in improving network performance. There are two primary approaches to economic resource allocation: quantity limits and pricing. Economic approaches can provide principles in situations and provide valuable guidelines and analysis. A concerted effort is needed from academia, the computer industry, network service providers, and businesses involved in electronic commerce to design new mechanisms for network operations that will be suitable for a new generation network applications. This chapter explores this economic approach for network management.

To implement a Multi-Homed Inter-AS Provider network using MPLS VPN technology where Service Provider 1 and Service Provider 2 are providing services to geographically dispersed Customer A and B sites. This research work is great method of communication among partner branches of an organization each of them situated at distinct geographical areas with absence of the same ISP in every area. We came up with an idea of designing Multi-Homed Inter-AS provider network i.e., connecting multiple ISPs with MPLS VPN which provides global reachability. This design provides security confidently in Private/Public organizations through Internet replacement. In reliability, it becomes more important to use MPLS technology which is being widely adopted by worldwide service providers to connect geographically separated customer sites. In this research work, Customer Sites are connected with VPNs for secure private. Here, we provide a great survey about MPLS, BGP, and VPN Networks. We address the issues of traditional Inter-As Provider. This existing system connects the geographically separated customer sites with single link. Such, there is more traffic burden on that single link. Thus, the quality parameters of network such are speed and QoS (Quality of Service) are changing with traffic rate. To overcome these issues, we propose the Provision of Multi-Homed Inter-As Provider using MPLS VPN Technology. Our proposed design Inter-AS Multi-Homed Provider using MPLS VPN has explained in GNS3 Software for better understanding the system. This research work would be helpful for service providers to provide their services for long distance customers with more security and QoS parameters

This study mirrors the increasing importance of network management and also looks at about the devolution of elderly services or social services in general. This survey research was to develop a structural equation model of network management in elderly services. The sample consisted of 556 elderly service providers in Southern part of Thailand. Data were collected using a questionnaire. Findings show the structural equation model had a good fit with the empirical data (χ2 = 767.53, df = 279, RMSEA=0.064, CFI=0.98, SRMR=0.058). The model confirms that 6 factors: trust, mutuality, governance, administration, autonomy and, antecedents possessed effects on network performance. Trust had the highest positive direct effects on network performance, followed by mutuality, governance, and administration respectively, autonomy had negative direct effects and, antecedents only had indirect effect. Therefore, when governments have to work together with partners in elderly services, the problems become more complex so administrators should be concern about these constructs to provide service provisions so that a functional capacity can be maintained for elderly well-being.   Int.

Telecom industry is one of those industries which has changed dramatically during the past decade. With more and more players entering in this industry, competition is ever increasing. The war between these players is slowly shifting from the price to the augmentation. This paper aims at exploring such factors which influence a customers preference of one telecom service provider (TSP) over the other. It is a descriptive research where study has been conducted among the consumers of different telecom service providers (TSPs). By reviewing the existing literature in this domain, we explored different factors which affect the consumers decision to prefer one telecom service provider over the other. A consumer targeted questionnaire was designed where consumers were asked about the factors they consider (with their relative importance quantified using Likert scale), before buying a new network connection to know the relative importance of the various factors. Factor Analysis was performed to club various variables into distinct factors. Statistical techniques then helped in identifying the relative importance. From the Factor Loading matrix the following five factors were generated:- Overall service quality, Point of Purchase Differentiator, Promotion Measures, Tariff Plans and Size of the Network. Further study in the behavioural perceptions of consumer shows that the most important factor in influencing the customer buying behavior is Service Quality. The second most important factor is cost and various plans offered by the telecom service provider. Network connectivity was considered by almost all the respondents and consumers prefer the largest network player. The study also found that promotional measures dont influence the customers as expected.
