Abstract
Virtual circuits are routed and grouped into virtual paths during an interactive topology design process. Virtual circuits are assigned to virtual paths that provide minimum cost to each pass through a topology design. Virtual paths are dispersed into subgroups that minimize bandwidth consumption and maximize routing flexibility. This topology optimization process is constrained to minimize use of network resources.
