Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: receiving information identifying a first path of a plurality of potential paths through a network that are capable of communicating data packets between a first node that comprises a first media aggregation manager and a second node that comprises a second media aggregation manager; responsive to receiving the information identifying the first path, provisioning a plurality of routers for data packet routing between the first media aggregation manager and the second media aggregation manager over the first path; receiving information of a predicted bandwidth usage related to the first path; responsive to receiving the information of the predicted bandwidth usage related to the first path, deallocating at least a portion of bandwidth available to a first set of routers that are part of the first path, based at least in part on the predicted bandwidth usage; and allocating at least a portion of the deallocated bandwidth to a second set of routers that are part of a second path of the plurality of paths that is different from the first path, based at least in part on the predicted bandwidth usage.
