Abstract: The traffic within the branches of a communication network is often a random variable with an approximate multivariate normal distribution. The analysis of such systems has been discussed in a previous paper. In this paper, we consider the optimum synthesis problem. Nonlinear and linear programming is used to guarantee that a given flow rate probability between a specified pair of terminals is achieved. In particular, a Uniformly Most Powerful Statistical Test provides the basis for an optimum synthesis procedure that appears to be very efficient. The procedure is formulated as a concave program with quadratic and linear constraints.
