On optimal design of network topology

Abstract

This paper describes an implementation of the general flexible interactive method of optimal network topology design with simultaneous calculation of network equipment parameters which depend on the network topology. The initial information on the projected network contains the following data: single and corporate users location, the structure and the quantity of their information flows to the different corporate users (as senders-receivers) and QoS of all users. The structure and the quantity of information flows must be presented in the form of probability characteristics of these flows applied to each traffic type. The algorithm of the proposed method is based on use of two complex potential functions and a solving of flow problems. The proposed method is integrated into the complex software tool for network design. There are numerical experiments.
