Abstract
The number of nodes in a private network-to-network interface may be very large. These nodes can be organized in two or more hierarchical levels.Network performance parameters, for example, call set-up time, may be used to determine the optimum number of hierarchical levels for a given PNNI network. A multi-step algorithm is presented for calculating the optimum number of levels in the network for a given number of nodes.
