Abstract
A method of routing a requested virtual circuit in a network advantageously uses information about concurrent requests for other virtual circuits. Each virtual circuit request in a set of concurrent requests is specified by one or more parameters and each virtual circuit request is routed as a function of one or more parameters of a plurality of the requests. Thereafter, the routing of each request in the set of requests is refined according to a cost function so that the total cost of routing is reduced.
