A new degree of freedom in ATM network dimensioning optimizing the logical configuration.

A mathematical model is presented that provides a well-defined formulation of the logical configuration problem of ATM networks (the carriers of future B-ISDN) with the objective of maximizing the total expected network revenue, given the physical network parameters and the traffic requirements of e...
