Just for fun - "stochastic optimization" as in here: www2.isye.gatech.edu/~ashapiro/download.php?Down=book

is in fact identical to "empirical risk minimization" in Vapnik's statistical learning theory. As soon as you are not 100% sure about any of the numbers in your routing model, you find yourself in the same setting as that studied in "machine learning"!
