Abstract
Improved network optimization and scaling are provided by combining optimization of traffic engineering and network topologies. Sets of minimal link capacities are determined based on the constraints of network topology, network demand, and failure modes. The optimization problem is reframed to allow for simultaneous optimization across all failure modes, reducing or eliminating overprovisioning in link capacity allocation by utilizing convex optimization solvers and techniques.
