In the paper the problem of designing two-level hierarchical structure of wide area network is considered. The goal is to select gateways location, channel capacities and flow routes in order to minimize total cost of leasing capacities of channels of 2nd level network, subject to delay constraint. An approximate algorithm is proposed. Some results following from computational experiment are reported.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
