Solving Network Design Problems based on the Subscriber Internet Connection Speed
Typically, the cost of higher data rate links is less (unit cost wise) than the cost of a lower data rate links – for example; the bandwidth of a T3-link is 28 times that of a T1-link, but the cost of a T3-link is much less than 28 times the cost of a T1-link. However, the requirement for an acceptable link utilisation threshold places a restriction on the demand (and hence the revenues) that can be supported (respectively generated) by a given network link… if Quality-of-Ser
