1. A network design method executable by at least one computer, the method comprising:

  • receiving embedded network information describing at least one existing network element and a plurality of physical locations available for locating new network nodes;

    receiving a demand forecast for a coverage area of a proposed network, the proposed network having a core layer, an aggregation layer, and an access layer;

    determining a lower bound number of aggregator layer nodes to service the coverage area;

    calculating a number of aggregator layer nodes to be included in the proposed network including adding a positive integer to the lower bound number of aggregator layer nodes;

    receiving a number of core layer nodes to be included in the proposed network; and

    generating a network design for the proposed network, where the network design identifies a physical location for each of the core layer nodes and each of the aggregator layer nodes.
