Claim 19:
20. The method of claim 15, further comprising:
receiving a message from a source node of an updated transmission rate less than a previously allocated transmission rate for the selected path;
determining per path allocated bandwidths for links in the selected path based on a number of common paths that share a link with the selected path;
setting allocated bandwidth for the selected path to a minimum of the per path allocated bandwidths for the links in the selected path;
determining increased allocated bandwidths for the common paths including a portion of bandwidth from the selected path;
determining whether increased allocated bandwidth for the common paths exceeds minimum per path bandwidths for the links of the common paths; and
updating allocated bandwidth for a common path to the increased allocated bandwidth in response to determining that the increased allocated bandwidth does not exceed the minimum per path bandwidth for the common path.
