Abstract: We study the capacity allocation problem in service overlay networks (SON)
with state-dependent connection routing based on revenue maximization. We formulate the
dimensioning problem as a profit maximization problem and propose a novel model with
several new features. In particular the proposed methodology employs an efficient
approximation for state dependent routing that reduces the cardinality of the problem.
Moreover, the new formulation also takes into account the concept of network shadow prices in
the capacity allocation process to improve the efficacy of the solution scheme.
