ABSTRACT:
A system and method for reducing switching overhead in a communication network and a web-based server incorporating the system or the method. In one embodiment, the system includes: (1) an optimization engine configured to receive input data describing trunks, switches and traffic demands in at least a portion of the communication network and arrange connections between the trunks and switches such that the traffic demands are satisfied and such that a switch load or cost is reduced and (2) a report generator associated with the optimization engine and configured to produce a report containing a modified configuration having the reduced switch load or cost.
