The nature of the consumptive society of telecommunication needs causes an increase in the amount of traffic from year to year. This condition encourages telecommunications service providers to plan network infrastructure with good quality. This research focuses on designing the Metro Ethernet backbone network in Semarang for bandwidth requirements in the next ten years. Planning is based on existing nodes in Semarang City and the optimal route to form the ring topology. Traffic forecasting is done by Kruithof's double factor method to obtain point-to-point traffic predictions as the basis for network dimensioning link utilization parameters based on PT. Telkom Area Network Semarang QoS standards to determine link capacity. Metro Ethernet backbone network in Semarang City in the next 2028, 11 nodes form a multi-ring topology. The forecasting results show that the total traffic load in 2028 reached 2,300.37 Gbps. Network planning results show that the most enormous link capacity requirement in 2028 goes 6 x 100 Gb on SPL<->JHR and CDI<->BMK links, and the smallest link capacity is 2 x 10 Gb on the GNK<->MPH and MKG< ->TUG links.
