Abstract:
1. A procedure for optimizing the band occupied by a plurality of circuit data flows located, according to an initial configuration, in a plurality of sets of slots of a transport network, by sorting said flows inside the same sets of slots, said procedure comprising the steps of: calculating, with a theoretical optimal flow routine algorithm, a theoretical configuration of the flows contained in said initial configuration, which is optimized as regards the occupied band; exchanging the sets of slots of said theoretical flow configuration to obtain an optimal arrangement of said sets of slots, the number of flows whose position corresponds to the position assumed by the same flows in said initial configuration being maximized; defining a minimum shift sequence of single flows needed to shift each single flow from an initial position occupied in said initial flow configuration to a final position corresponding to the position assumed by the same flow in said optimal slot set arrangement; implementing said minimum shift sequence of single flows, thus obtaining a flow configuration with a band occupation equivalent to said theoretical flow configuration.
