Failure Mode and Effects Analysis
Steps to perform an FMEA
1. Review the design.
2. Brainstorm potential failure
modes.
3. List potential effects of failure.
4. Assign Severity Numbers
5. Assign Occurrence Numbers
6. Assign Detection Numbers
7. Calculate the Risk Priority Number
8. Develop the Action Plan
FMEA standards.

Inter-MSO link Capacity Planning
Do the Erlang magic on voice calls
Matrix with busy hour traffic load for
each MSO-MSO pair
Add packet, short data and network
management
Matrix with busy hour traffic load for
each MSO-MSO pair
Apply routing protocol to determine
traffic load of each link
Such as MSO1-MSO4 path is through
MSO2.
Apply agreed link failures to obtain
needed failover capacity
Such as one concurrent link failure
Result: Required Inter-MSO bandwidth
