Abstract
We investigate network planning and design under volatile conditions of link failures and traffic overload. Our model is a non- simultaneous 2-commodity problem. We characterize the feasible solu- tions and using this characterization we reduce the size of the LP pro- gram. For the case that all non-zero requirements are equal we present a closed fractional optimal solution, a closed integer (where the capacities of the solution network are integer) optimal solution and we investigate the integral case for which an integer 2-commodity flow must exist for every pair of requirements.
