Mehretu Daka___ _______________ Name Signature Place: Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Date of submission: May 29, 2017 This thesis has been submitted for examination with my approval as a university advisor. Dr. -Ing. Dereje Hailemariam__ ____________ Advisor’s Name Signature Traffic Analysis of IP Core Network: The Case of Ethio Telecom ii Abstract According to the Internet World Status report, number of Internet users is increasing at about 10% annually, and the trend is the same in Ethiopia. Beside, most networks in telecom companies are converging to Internet Protocol (IP)-based core networks. To get maximum possible capability of IP-based core network, operators work on capacity development projects like expanding the bandwidth of their core networks. However, doing expansion project usually needs high cost that increases Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) of the operators. So, rather than doing capacity development projects frequently, core network traffic should be regularly analyzed in order to understand its’ usage level; to improve the functionality of the network; to be aware of the operational aspects of the network; and to identify a way that uses maximum possible level of the network. In this thesis, IP core network traffic analysis is conducted. To do this, data is obtained from the IP core network performance monitoring tools. After studying real time data and getting average values of key parameters, the network Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are simulated using Matlab software environment. The real time data obtained from the monitoring tools is analyzed by comparing with simulated results. The study results in usage level evaluation of core network, indicates the vendor tools reliability and gives better recommendation on core network architecture that helps to obtain maximum possible level of the network. Accordingly, the study shows that almost all tested service quality indicators are below the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) standards and vendors’ tools are reliable. However, Traffic Analysis of IP Core Network: The Case of Ethio Telecom iii enormously increasing number of subscribers will make core network traffic congested in a near future. So, this study recommended better core network architecture. As there will be a need to deploy new core networks or expand existing core network, findings in this study can be used as reference for new build as well as expansion on IP core network. Keywords—IP Core Network, Traffic Analysis, Performance Monitoring, Active Monitoring, Passive Monitoring, KPIs. Traffic Analysis of IP Core Network: The Case of Ethio Telecom iv Acknowledgement First of all, I would like to thank the almighty God for letting me finish this thesis. Secondly, I would like to express my sincere and special thanks of gratitude to my advisor Dr. -Ing. Dereje Hailemariam, who has given me great help, excellent advice and has treated me with infinite patience throughout this thesis work. It would be very difficult and might have taken longer time to finish this paper without his attentive guidance. I also want to thank my brothers for their material support, indispensable guidance and moral advice. Beside them, I want to thank my wife for her patience during the thesis work. My gratitude also goes to my friends for their help and best wishes during the whole program, and particularly during this thesis work. Finally, I want to give my endless gratitude to Addis Ababa University for giving me the chance to study in this program and ethio telecom fo r permission of data gathering.

Accounting and Finance, Adigrat University, Ethiopia. Abstract The starting period of the Telecommunication Industry in Ethiopia goes back to the reign of Emperor Menilik in 1894, during the construction of the capital city, Addis Ababa. This was followed by the Inter urban network construction to connect many important centre of the empire by 1930. Ethiopian telecommunication joined ITU (International Telecommunication Union) in 1932 and was showing good progress in the area until the Italian Acceptation. During 1932 – 1942 the network was seriously damaged because of the consecutive wars. Currently, the state monopolyTelecommunication service provider in Ethiopia, Ethiopian TelecommunicationsCorporations re-born on December2, 2010 as Ethio-Telecom after France Telecom takes themanagement contract.
