Welcome to E-Lighthouse Network Planner

E-Lighthouse Network Planner (ENP) helps you model, visualize, and analyze complex networks before making operational or planning decisions.

It is designed for teams working with IP/MPLS/SR, optical transport, and multi-layer environments, and combines an interactive web interface with simulation and analysis capabilities.

Start here if your goal is simple: understand the network, test scenarios, and make better decisions with less guesswork.

What You Can Do With ENP

ENP is especially useful when you need to:

  • build or import a realistic network design
  • inspect nodes, links, services, controllers, and traffic information
  • simulate routing, resilience, and capacity scenarios
  • compare the effect of failures or traffic growth before applying changes
  • work across IP and transport layers in the same environment

Why use ENP

ENP helps answer network related questions such as:

  • What happens if a link, node, or SRG fails?
  • Is the current design ready for traffic growth?
  • Which routes or paths are being selected under current policies?
  • How does imported controller information affect the model?
  • Where are the main bottlenecks or weak points in the network?

How The Product Is Organized

At a high level, ENP has two main workspaces:

  • Topology window: the visual workspace where you place, inspect, and navigate network elements
  • Control window: the table-oriented workspace where you review data, filters, reports, and detailed properties
