US 7760738 B1Abstract
A processing system is coupled with a memory system and with a network interface that is connectable to a network. The processing system may receive a service request over the network interface requesting a connection between a source node and a destination node over the network. The processing system may then determine a requested class of service associated with the service request. The class of service requirement may indicate one of a plurality of classes of service. The processing system may further store topology information about the network, a portion of which may be based on a protocol identifying multiple paths in the network. The processing system may also determine if one of the multiple paths is available between the source node and the destination node that satisfies the requested class of service. If such a path is available, the processing system may assign the determined path to the connection.
