Abstract

We propose a business/cost model for long-period changes of customer demands in FTTx networks. We show how to exploit this model in the formulation of a MIP optimization problem that, for a given sequence of customer demand vectors provides (when solved to the optimality) the absolute benchmark. The model is relatively complicated and cannot be directly applied to the optimization of real-world networks without a number of algorithmic tricks that are discussed in this paper. The presented approach has been implemented and tested against an example network instance. Test results are given and discussed in the paper.
