Summary/Abstract: An important problem when designing a telecommunication network is to optimize the flow demands at the network between predefined nodes. One of the solutions used for this purpose is to formulate the linear programming. In this paper we focus on the optimization of locating the data flow path in an undirected network. It provides an actual decision-making problem. For such a problem the link-path formula has been chosen. Problem also has brought to linear programming and implemented in AMPL standard. The study estimated the price of fairness for the considered model OWA (Ordered Weighted Averaging) compared to solve maximizing flows on the paths and to solve the model MMF (Maximin fairness). The final effect of the work is to present the results and a summary of the analysis, obtained solutions based on sample data by reference to the telecommunication network which in this case was the backbone Polish net. The main measure is the difference between the value of the objective function for these fair methods and solutions maximizing total flow.
