ABSTRACT:
A network optimization application receives as input information about a telecommunications network and the current use of that network. An optimization is performed in order to generate a preferred network use configuration which minimizes price for one or more customers of the telecommunications network. Information utilized as input into the application includes network nodes (e.g., switches, central offices, customer premises), linkages among nodes, prices associated with the network, and current use of the network. The output network use configuration may be browsed using a configuration interface listing network elements and also a detail interface for viewing details of individual network elements.
