Telecommunications


 

Call routing: Many telephone calls from New York to Los Angeles, from Houston to Atlanta, etc. How should these calls be routed through the telephone network?


Network design: If we need to build extra capacity, which links should we concentrate on? Should we build new switching stations?


Internet traffic: There is currently a great deal of construction of new networks for carrying internet traffic.
