    I'd like to know the exact name of the problem, but it feels TSP-ish. I'm borrowing this from Vayant (which I think is a B2B competitor) with seemingly similar challenges: > As mentioned above, the computational challenge here is to solve a “traveling salesman” style problem, with costs associated with each graph segment and in fact each combination of segments.

      Heh, seems like the exact name for the linked article would be "The Traveling Mathematician Problem"
