Introduction
Paragon Planner is a network modeling tool that enables offline visualization of network resources and provides detailed architectural planning of production networks. Network operators can use Paragon Planner to visualize and map services to resources, and forecast the impact of network changes (such as latency, additional traffic, shifts in traffic flows, and new capacity) on transport services. Paragon Planner also enables operators to simulate network changes and other traffic scenarios without affecting the production network, and assess the network for potential failure scenarios.
