Abstract
Efficiency, Reliability and Cost are the foremost three major criteria usually considered in a telecommunication
network. In order to make better use of available network resources, there is a need for planning the bandwidth
allocation to communication demands. In this study, a bandwidth allocation problem with three major
constraints were simulated and solved for 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 nodes. The study discovered that
increasing bandwidth is not absolutely the only way to take care of the load on networks as the bandwidth
availability may not be commensurate with bandwidth utilization.
