Abstract:

This paper addresses the interconnection of local area networks (LANs) using bridges. The interconnection problem is difficult to solve and feasible solutions are usually obtained through heuristics. The description of a simplified approach to solve the problem of interconnecting LANs is followed by the formulation of the problem and the development of a Lagrangean relaxation. A Tabu search metaheuristic for designing minimum cost spanning tree topologies is also presented. Computational results are given for the interconnection of up to ten local area networks.
