Airspace Structure
I was taking coordination from an adjacent sector and writing on strips; and when I focused back on the scope I saw the event happening. Aircraft X was climbing to FL340 northeast bound to fulfill the requirement to Sector 86; and had Aircraft Y opposite direction at FL340. Both aircraft got RA's. This sector is difficult when either W122 or W72 is active. There's only one airway for northeast and southwest traffic; and the SOP's and LOA's require multiple altitude changes head on. We also receive traffic at the same altitude head on from Sector 86 and ZJX. I believe we need an extra airway south of the warning areas to better deal with the traffic volume in SWAP.
Controller observes operational error and places partial blame on airspace and LOA.
