Abstract
A method is performed to optimize metrics associated with links of a network that is routed utilizing a shortest-path-first (SPF) routing method. The method includes identifying at least one failure scenario applicable to the network and identifying at least one bandwidth level scenario applicable to point-to-point demands routed through the network. A metric is automatically calculated for each of a plurality of links of a network, such that routings of demands through the network are optimized for the at least one failure scenario, and for the at least one bandwidth level.
