Claim 10:
11. A network criticality manager configured to control data traffic in a network, the network criticality manager comprising:
processing circuitry, the processing circuitry being configured to:
obtain network topology information from a plurality of physical resources used to transfer data traffic in the network;
determine priority levels data traffic in the network;
calculate criticality values for physical resources from among the plurality of physical resources using the network topology information and the determined priority levels, the criticality values for the physical resources indicate indicating the relative importance of the physical resources in the network; and
control the data traffic in the network to minimize at least one calculated criticality value or a sum of the calculated criticality values.
