Lowest measure paths: a Survivable Signaling Network design approach

The logic, implementation, and analysis of a network design approach, lowest measure paths, are discussed. The approach was conceived in order to design a signaling network dedicated to government use. By intelligently picking a subset of facility routes from the large pool of AT&T private line and commercial signaling networks using Dijkstra´s shortest path algorithm, the approach generates designs that are nearly as survivable and robust as the full pool
