A system and method for optimizing a network design to obtain an optimized network design relative to a desired network capacity. The network design has an initial traffic distribution and is evaluated based on a determined network capacity, network traffic values, and anticipated growth rates bounded by a prescribed growth deviation factor. An optimized traffic matrix is determined using linear programming resources, relative to a maximum capacity for the initial traffic distribution and based on the determined network capacity, the network traffic values, the anticipated growth rates, and the prescribed growth deviation factor. The optimized traffic matrix entry having a minimum growth rate is identified, and link capacity is added based on the entry having the minimum growth rate. The evaluation and capacity addition is repeated for the modified network design until determining that the maximum capacity for the corresponding traffic distribution of the corresponding modified matrix reaches the desired network capacity.
