Abstract
Traffic grooming techniques are used to combine low-speed data streams onto high-speed lightpaths with the objective of minimizing the network cost, or maximizing the network throughput. In this paper, we first present an efficient integer linear program (ILP) formulation for traffic grooming on mesh WDM networks. Our formulation can be easily modified to implement different objective functions. Unlike previous formulations, our ILP formulation can be used for practical sized networks with several hundred requests. We then propose a second ILP for traffic grooming, with the simplifying assumption that RWA is not an issue. This second formulation is able to generate, in a reasonable time, grooming strategies, for networks with over 30 nodes, with hundreds and even thousands of low-speed data streams. Finally, we introduce a set of ILP formulations for traffic grooming, where the logical topology is specified. We have studied, using simulation, the time needed to determine grooming strategies, using the different ILP formulations.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
