| Feb 13, 2020 at 22:41 | comment | added | Tagar | Thank you Ron. I understand one route at a time optimization doesn't fall into TSP realm. I am trying to look at this holistically - looking for global optimization and not local optimizations, for example, given network traffic patterns, how often certain network segments/ ToR switches, VLANs, edge locations and outside networks, BGP peers, etc or even specific server talk to each other.. | |
