Abstract
There is provided a method for determining a topology for a network. The method comprises the steps of obtaining data that describes a requirement for a service between a first node and a second node, and searching a state space to define a solution that fulfills the requirement. The solution provides a topographic arrangement for the first node and the second node in the network. There is also provided a system for determining a topology of a network.
