1 For more discussion on attributes of a converged IP/MPLS network, please read the white paper entitled MPLS for
Mission-Critical Networks (http://resources.alcatel-lucent.com/asset/172097).
As multiple services are put on the same port in the same node, advanced
service-aware hierarchical QoS (H-QoS) is important to allocate sufficient
bandwidth resources with the right priority to avoid performance compromise.
2. QoS management
In such a converged network carrying numerous applications, service
awareness is crucial for application performance assurance. As application
traffic enters the network edge, the edge router can treat each applications
traffic with an individually tailored QoS policy that includes its own set of
traffic queues and traffic rate to ensure no application can send beyond the
agreed rate, impacting the rest (Figure 4). H-QoS further renders flexibility to
each service to consume its assigned bandwidth without affecting the others.

Conclusion
Mining companies today are at a critical tipping point. As they strive to meet
todays production requirements, attain eco-sustainability and deliver improved
shareholder value, they need to re-imagine their mining paradigms, and explore
and embrace new innovations and technologies. Integral to the new paradigms
is a revamped and transformed network infrastructure, connecting pits, ports,
operating and data centers and offices seamlessly and unfailingly, delivering
information when and where needed.
A successful execution of network transformation rests not only on
technology. With a broad and deep product portfolio that spans from IP/
MPLS to microwave and optical transmission to SDN to LTE, complemented
by full suite of professional services including audit, design and engineering
practices12, Nokia has the unique capability and flexibility to help mining
companies plan and transform their networks for 2020 and beyond.
