Abstract
A method to provision routes in a network having a plurality of nodes and a plurality of links connecting various nodes. The method includes determining a route between a designated source node and a designated destination node based on a preselected routing algorithm and one of (i) a designated node of interest and (ii) a designated link of interest, and outputting information indicating the determined route.
Claims25
A method to provision routes in a network having a plurality of nodes and a plurality of links connecting various nodes, comprising:
- determining a route from a designated source node to a designated destination node based on a preselected routing algorithm and one of (i) a designated node of interest and (ii) a designated link of interest;
- and
- outputting information to indicate the determined route.
A method to provision routes in a network having a plurality of nodes and a plurality of links connecting various nodes, comprising:
- determining an initial route between a source node and a destination node using a preselected routing algorithm;
- determining a revised route between the source node and the destination node based on one of (i) a designated link of interest and (ii) a designated node of interest;
- and
- outputting information to indicate the revised route.
A method to provision routes in a network having a plurality of nodes and a plurality of links connecting various nodes, comprising:
- designating a source node on a display of network nodes;
- designating a destination node on the display of network nodes;
- inputting a command to initiate determination of an initial route between the source node and the destination node using a preselected routing algorithm;
- designating, on a display of network nodes that includes information indicating the initial route, one of (i) a node of interest and (ii) a link of interest;
- and
- inputting a command to initiate determination of a revised route between the source node and the destination node based on the designated node of interest or link of interest.
An apparatus to provision routes in a network, comprising:
- a memory to store information regarding a plurality of network nodes and links connecting network nodes;
- a display to display information regarding the plurality of network nodes and the links connecting the network nodes;
- a user interface to input user designations;
- and
- a processor to control the apparatus to (i) determine an initial route between a source node and a destination node using a preselected routing algorithm, (ii) determine a revised route between the source node and the destination node based on one of (a) a designated node of interest and (b) a designated link of interest, and (iii) output information to the display to indicate the revised route.
A computer-readable medium embodying a computer program, the program comprising code to control an apparatus to:
- determine an initial route between a source node and a destination node in a network having a plurality of nodes and a plurality of links connecting various nodes, using a preselected routing algorithm;
- determine a revised route between the source node and the destination node based on one of (i) a designated node of interest and (ii) a designated link of interest;
- and
- output information to indicate the revised route.
