Abstract

A system optimizes data transmission along network paths includes a communications interface; a processor, and a non-transient computer-readable storage medium having machine instructions for path optimizing and sequencing data transmission. The processor is configured to receive a model of a utility of data transmission in the network, receive a job that includes a sequence of data transmission tasks that optimize the utility of the data transmission; determine that a sequencing process represents an intractable problem; identify a best task insertion order for inserting tasks into a sequence, retaining as a current best task insertion order, a task insertion order that produces a current best score of a general utility function, until a stopping condition is reached; and using the current best task insertion order, apply the tasks to optimize the sequence of tasks of the job.
