Abstract In this paper we introduce a new methodology to adjust link capacities in circuit switched networks taking into account the costing policy and reliability considerations. This methodology, which is an extension of previous work on reliability evaluation using routing models, is based on a cyclic decomposition algorithm which alternates between a routing subproblem and a link capacity adjustment subproblem. The proposed procedure, which is shown to converge to a global optimum for the dimensioning/routing problem, has been tested on a 14 undirected arc problem for various levels of link failure probability. The numerical results are extremely satisfactory and they demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed method for proper network dimensioning.
