Given a set of customer nodes and an associated traffic matrix, tunnels that connect node pairs through a service provider network are determined such that the total multi-hopped traffic is minimised. A tabu search based heuristic is proposed.EnglishAlgorithmsComputer hardwareComputer softwareElectric network topologyMathematical modelsNetwork protocolsTelecommunication trafficVirtual private networks (VPN)Computer networksMesh topology design in overlay virtual private networksArticle10.1049/el:20020631
