[GRASSLIST:9344] telcom network design - least cost implementation?

Has anyone used GRASS in either a raster or vector application for modeling a telecommunications network? Meaning a packet enters the network and gets routed around through various nodes until it gets to the destination, and using GIS to determine what that least cost path would be?

This problem can be solved by v.net.steiner, attention, steiner
problem is NP-complete.
