Abstract:
1. A method of generating an optimal path in a domain, comprising: estimating a traffic volume of said domain; constructing a traffic matrix in accordance with said estimated traffic volume; computing a provisioning route for each non-zero element of said traffic matrix, wherein said method is performed for at least one class in descending order of priority, and said provisioning route is open to alteration, said computing including listing and sorting all quadruplets for said at least one class, wherein each of said quadruplets comprises a path having a source, a destination, a rate between said source and said destination, and an indicator of path alterability; and readjusting said traffic matrix in response to said computed provisioning route, wherein said method is for executing service level agreements (SLAs) and provisioning for traffic flows in networks.
