Abstract
The aim in switching network optimization problem is to obtain optimal link capacities so that the resulting network cost is minimized and a certain satisfactory level of service is supplied to the subscrihers. Since the problem has a large size and encompasses nonlinearities, approximate solutions suffice. In the present study, the optimization problem, its characteristics, and related teletraffic concepts are presented. A solution procedure is developed by considering the existing approaches and is applied to some small scale example networks to show its functioning and to set a comparison basis for future study.
