Abstract

We consider the problem of determining the optimal access topology to service based networks. The problem is formulated as a concentrator location problem with a discontinuous piece wise linear objective function that depends on the traffic of the nodes that are homed to the concentrator. Five heuristics are developed to solve the problem and are compared on an extensive set of examples. Based on this comparison a combination heuristic utilizing a Lagrangian relaxation and swap drop add approach was found to give the best solution in the minimal time.
