Consider the following problem: given a Telecommunication network with a set of point-to-point traffic demands, an installation of network capacity is sought that minimizes the total network cost while routing all demands on single paths [4]. Moreover, the volume of each traffic demand is constant during most of the network operations, but is subject to rare peaks which are assumed non-simultaneous. Today’s Multi-
