Abstract
Systems and methods for forming network connections are described. Embodiments of the systems and methods can include identifying a plurality of network nodes in a network system; partitioning the plurality of network nodes into a disjoint network element; identifying, based on the disjoint network element, a first virtual connection between an entry node and an exit node; assigning a first bandwidth to the first virtual connection; and forming a connection domain among the partitioned plurality of network nodes, the connection domain including the first virtual connection.
Claims24
A method of forming a connection domain, the method comprising:
- identifying a plurality of network nodes in a network system;
- partitioning the plurality of network nodes into a disjoint network element;
- identifying, based on the disjoint network element, a first virtual connection between an entry node and an exit node;
- assigning a first bandwidth to the first virtual connection;
- and
- forming a connection domain among the partitioned plurality of network nodes, the connection domain including the first virtual connection.

A system for forming a connection domain, the system comprising:
- a network switch;
- one or more processors;
- and
- tangible, non-transitory computer storage that stores a program that when executed by the one or more processors is configured to perform operations for forming a connection domain comprising:
- identify a plurality of network nodes in a network system;
- partition the plurality of network nodes into at least two disjoint network elements;
- identify, based on the at least two disjoint network elements, a virtual connection between an entry node and an exit node;
- assign a first bandwidth to the first virtual connection;
- and
- forming a connection domain among the partitioned plurality of network nodes, the connection domain including the first virtual connection.
