1. A processor-based method for substantially optimizing performance goals of a network, comprising:

  • receiving a virtual topology including a list of application components defining an arbitrary network, resource requirements for the application components and communication requirements between each set of application components;

    receiving a network topology including a list of physical resources defining an arbitrary capacitated network, specifications for the physical resources, connections between the physical resources and a physical property for each connection;

    creating decision variables and constraints to provide an objective function using the virtual topology and the network topology; and

    assigning each application component to at least one physical resource according to the decision variables, the constraints, and the objective function.
