Abstract The primary trade-off in a large computer-communication network (CCN) is the balance between computation processing capability and communication capability. Essentially, a CCN model should utilize operational optimization (rather than mathematical optimization) allowing the user (mostly a non-programme network expert) to call upon his experience and insight in dealing with real-life networks to decide upon proper direction for modifications. We propose, in this paper, a unified approach which will hopefully allow an on-line user to make real-time modifications to CCNs to obtain operationally optimal system trade-offs in such areas as network overall reliability, communication response, computation response, and optimum channel capacities etc.
