Abstract

A device determines traffic and costs associated with a network that includes network devices interconnected by links, and determines traffic assignments for the network based on the traffic and the costs associated with the network. The device determines tunnel use for the network based on the traffic assignments, and determines peer link use for the network based on the tunnel use. The device determines costs associated with the traffic assignments, the tunnel use, and the peer link use for the network, and generates traffic plans based on the traffic assignments, the tunnel use, the peer link use, and the costs associated with the traffic assignments, the tunnel use, and the peer link use. The device causes one of the traffic plans to be implemented in the network by the network devices and the links.
