Abstract
A system and computer-readable medium for designing a network are disclosed. A network is designed by a system having modules configured to perform steps that generate the network wherein nodes originate and terminate traffic to keep delay related to node-to-node delay-sensitive communication below a threshold. The computer-readable medium stores instructions for controlling a computing device to design the network. The instructions comprise obtaining an initial network topology including links and traffic routing based on a volume of traffic, allocating a maximum delay to each link in the network topology in proportion to a square root of an imputed cost for each of the links, sizing a bandwidth required for each of the links based on a current traffic routing and at least one of a maximum delay allocated to the link, determining link lengths and rerouting traffic according to shortest paths with respect to the determined link lengths.
