Abstract
System and method embodiments are provided for configuring a network to forward traffic from a first network zone to a second network zone. In an embodiment, a first zone controller of the first zone receives information indicating network capability. The information includes a plurality of parameters of a constraint function. The first network controller provisions a network node, e.g., at the second zone, to forward traffic from the first zone to the second zone in accordance with the received information. The information indicating network capability includes one or more variables relating to the constraint. The constraint relates to at least one current traffic level or at least one wireless link in the second zone.
Claims24
A method for determining a network configuration to forward traffic between a first zone and a second zone in a network, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a first zone controller, information indicating network capability, the information including a plurality of parameters of a constraint function;
- and
- provisioning a network node to forward traffic from the first zone to the second zone in accordance with the received information.
A method for determining a network configuration to forward traffic between a first zone and a second zone in a network, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a second zone controller, a request to forward traffic from the first zone into the second zone;
- sending, by the second zone controller, information indicating network capability, the information including a plurality of parameters of a constraint function;
- and
- receiving, from a first zone controller, an indication of at least one selected communication parameter for forwarding traffic from the first zone to the second zone.
A network controller for determining a network configuration to forward traffic between a first zone and a second zone in a network, the network controller comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium for storing programming for execution by the processor, the programming including instructions to:
- receive information indicating network capability, the information including a plurality of parameters of a constraint function;
- and
- provision a network node to forward traffic from the first zone to the second zone in accordance with the received information.
A network controller for determining a network configuration to forward traffic between a first zone and a second zone in a network, the network controller comprising:
