Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to optimization profile generation and provide a method, system and computer program product for user guided generation of network link optimization profiles. In one embodiment of the invention, a network optimization profile generation method can be provided. The method can include ranking different performance criterion for a target network, testing the target network for the different performance criterion, weighting results of the testing according to the ranking of the different performance criterion, generating a set of target network configuration parameters through optimization of the weighted results, for instance simulated annealing, and applying the set of target network configuration parameters to the target network as a profile.
