    摘要: A method of load balancing zero-bandwidth Traffic Engineering Label Switching Paths (0-bw TE LSPs) in a communication network having a plurality of network nodes and a plurality of network links connecting the nodes. The method may be implemented in a centralized Path Computation Element (PCE) or in an ingress router. Each equal cost path from a source node to a destination node is identified from network topology information. A probability of selecting each equal cost shortest path is determined using an iterative Global Load balancing Algorithm (GLA) and each 0-bw TE LSP is provisioned with a specific probability such that the 0-bw TE LSPs are uniformly distributed over all network links.

    摘要: A system, method, and node for a Routing Controller (RC) to obtain from a Path Computation Element (PCE), network resource path metrics across a plurality of domains in a communication network in which each domain includes a plurality of Border Nodes (BNs). The RC sends to the PCE, a first message requesting a first path computation between each pair of BNs. The first message contains a maximum metric-value that a path computation must not exceed for a Path Computation Client (PCC) to consider the path computation acceptable. The RC then sends a second message requesting the PCE to compute a subsequent path computation for each BN pair for which the first path computation did not exceed the maximum metric-value. The second message contains a minimum metric-value that a path metric must exceed for the PCC to consider the path metric acceptable. The RC then receives the computed subsequent path computation.

    摘要: In a multi-domain network each domain, or Autonomous System (AS), has a route calculation entity (PCE A) which is responsible for computing paths between domains on behalf of clients. The route calculation entity (PCE A) sends advertisement messages to a route calculation entity (PCE B) in another domain. The advertisement message carries at least one of: inter-domain resource information and aggregated intra-domain information, such as simplified topology information or cumulative traffic engineering (TE) metrics. The inter-domain resource information can be inter-domain route or reachability information which is normally discarded by a routing protocol such as the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and can include inter-domain Traffic Engineering (TE) information such as reservable bandwidth.

    摘要: Slots (311) for transmission of data of a particular transmission type over an optical network are allocated by selecting a first available slot (313_2) at an ordinal position corresponding to a multiple of n and allocating the selected first available slot and the next n−1 consecutive slots (313_4, 313_5) from the selected first available slot (313_3), if all n−1 consecutive slots (313_4, 313_5) are available, for transmission of data of the particular transmission type. The data is transmitted over an optical network comprising a plurality of nodes (305, 327) interconnected by optical sections (301, 309, 329, 331) the nodes (305, 327) supporting a plurality of transmission types, wherein transmission of data of the particular transmission type requires a predetermined number n of consecutive slots. Alternatively the slots may be divided in groups (333, 335, 337) and slots are allocated to a group in which all slots are available.
