Abstract

A MATLAB-based planning tool for the computation of cost optimized laying for fiber optic access networks is employed on homogenous and heterogenous Windows PC networks. The approach is based on a custom MATLAB toolbox which does not require a MATLAB client installed at the participating machines. Experiments demonstrate the efficiency and real-world usability of the approach which facilitates an interactive network planning process.
