Abstract :
This paper presents a general integer programming formulation for the capacity and flow assignment problem in self-healing ATM VP networks with path restoration. It is observed that using group VP concept can substantially reduce the restoration time with only a small increase in spare capacity cost. The economy of scale in transmission facility cost is illustrated via numerical examples
