Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes obtaining a request to route traffic from a source to a destination in a network, where the request is associated with a setup bandwidth criterion. The method includes: identifying a plurality of candidate tunnel paths from the source to the destination; and, for each of the plurality of candidate tunnel paths, determining whether or not at least one of the candidate tunnel paths satisfies the setup bandwidth criterion. In response to determining that the plurality of candidate tunnel paths fail to satisfy the setup bandwidth criterion, the method includes: determining a congestion metric for each of a plurality of candidate tunnel paths from the source to the destination; and instantiating a tunnel from the source to the destination according to a candidate tunnel path with the lowest congestion metric.

Claim (Index 14):
The device of  claim 9 , wherein the setup bandwidth criterion corresponds to an estimated traffic value for a new tunnel.
