Abstract:
A method provided in one example embodiment includes detecting a first current bandwidth of a first link in a network ring, where the first current bandwidth indicates a signal degradation on the first link. The method also includes determining whether the first current bandwidth has degraded more than a second current bandwidth of a second link in the network ring, where the second current bandwidth indicates a signal degradation on the second link. The method further includes routing one or more network flows away from the first link if the first current bandwidth has degraded more than the second current bandwidth.
