  2. Backbone Networks: Observations • A few tens of “core” nodes, • Each aggregating traffic for a region, • Interconnected by an increasingly rich mesh of long-haul optical trunks • Robustness • Load-balancing • Low utilization—links over-provisioned for • Uncertainty of traffic matrix the network is designed for • Headroom for future growth • Prepare to take over when links or routers fail • Minimize congestion and delay variation • Efficiency sacrificed for robustness and flexibility

  3. Our Approach • Assume we know or estimate the traffic entering and leaving each Regional Network • Requires only local knowledge of users and market estimates • Connect regional nodes by a logical full-mesh • Use Valiant Load Balancing (VLB) over whole network • Can support all traffic matrices • Efficient use of capacity
