Abstract
Network optimization and design procedures often separate quality of s ervice (QOS) performance measures from reliability issues. This paper considers channel allocation and how assignment (routing) in a network subject to link failures. Fault-tolerant channel allocation and flow assignments are determined which minimize network cost while maintaini ng QOS performance requirements. This approach is shown to yield signi ficant network cost reductions compared to previous heuristic methods. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
