Abstract: It is shown that a number of fundamental optimal routing and design problems for communication networks consisting of facilities for transmission, switching, relaying, etc., may be treated in a straightforward, computationally feasible manner by linear programming methods. These methods provide a general system approach for resolving the complex interactions among system capacities, users' demands, and economic factors. Various aspects of implementation and generalizations are discussed.
