Abstract:
1. A traffic engineering module of a telecommunication device in a telecommunication network, said traffic engineering means being enabled to determine a traffic distribution being a traffic share (TSi) for each path (Pi) of a set of paths (P 1 , P 2 , P 3 ) between a source and a destination of said telecommunication network, said traffic distribution being adjusted on at least one of the following events: when a timer expires or when a load-losses information related to critically-loaded link has been received, where said traffic engineering module comprising: first determining means enabled to determine for each said path (Pi) an equivalent load (EquivLoad second determining means coupled to said first determining means being enabled to determine a maximum equivalent load (MaxEquivLoad) out of said set of equivalent loads ((EquivLoad third determining means enabled to determine for each said path (Pi) an increase in traffic share (Tsilnc) proportional to a difference between said maximum equivalent load (MaxEquivLoad) and said equivalent load (EquivLoad
