The design and implementation of a computer package which helps design telecommunications networks is discussed. Some aspects of the design problem are (a)optimisation, e.g. minimising the variance of the load on elements, (b)detecting loops and (c)calculating failure probabilities. The need to provide a ‘user friendly’ package is emphasised.
