Abstract
A device receives network configuration information from a network, determines a new capacity model of the network based on the network configuration information, and constructs a mixed integer programming (MIP) model based on the new capacity model. The device also calculates an optimal baseline solution, that minimizes network costs, using the mixed integer programming (MIP) model, performs a collocation optimization procedure on the optimal baseline solution to produce an optimal collocation solutions for the network, and provides the optimal network collocation solutions to the network for implementation.
