Abstract:
A communication network ( 1 ) comprising an optical transport domain network ( 2 ) having optical transport nodes connected to each other via physical optical links, packet switched networks ( 3 ) each having a boundary router ( 4 ) connected to an optical transport node of said optical transport domain network ( 2 ) via an access link ( 5 ); and a network management apparatus ( 6 ) adapted to perform an automatic bandwidth management of said communication network ( 1 ), wherein said network management apparatus ( 6 ) is adapted to activate or deactivate virtual links (VL), tributary ports and cross-connections between virtual and access links in the optical transport domain ( 2 ) in response to data traffic statistics of data transmitted on said access links ( 5 ).

Claim (Index 7):
The network management apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein the sensor agent run on the boundary router is adapted to pre-process to the measured time characteristics to generate data traffic statistics supplied via the control layer network to the control data interface of said network management apparatus.
