Abstract
A method and apparatus for designing a network that supports an integrated environment for all types of applications while satisfying individual performance requirements. An initial network topology is retrieved or created, including links and traffic routing based on a volume of traffic. A maximum delay is then allocated to each link in the network topology so that the delay limits on node-to-node communication are satisfied. Further, a bandwidth required for each link is sized based on a current traffic routing as well as a maximum delay allocated to the link and total link utilization. Link lengths are then determined, based on marginal costs, and traffic is rerouted according to shortest paths with respect to the link lengths.
