A method and system for maintaining a traffic service level for data communicated by a computer network having a source. The computer network is connected to at least one of many networks, where each of the many networks includes a number of paths for transporting the data communicated to a destination. In one embodiment of the method, the traffic service level associated with one of the paths between the source and the destination is monitored. Then, it is determined whether the traffic service level associated with that path meets one or more performance metrics. If a flow of data communicated over the monitored path fails to meet at least one of the performance metrics, then a service level violation is indicated. Upon such an indication, an alternate path is selected to resolve the service level violation.
A system for maintaining a traffic service level of a traffic flow in which the traffic flows to and flows from a computer network having a source, the computer network coupled to at least one of a plurality of networks, each of the networks includes a plurality of paths for transporting the traffic to a destination, where at least two of the networks are electrically coupled at an interconnection point and where the traffic flows through the interconnection point, the system comprising:
A system for maintaining a traffic service level over at least two of the networks electrically coupled at an interconnection point, where traffic flows through the interconnection point, by changing default routing tables of a plurality of regional networks, where a first regional network includes a first region router coupled to a first region route server, and a second regional network includes a second region router coupled to a second region route server, the system comprising:
A system for maintaining a traffic service level over at least two of the networks electrically coupled at an interconnection point, where traffic flows through the interconnection point, by changing default routing tables of a plurality of regional networks,
A method for maintaining a traffic service level of a traffic flow in which the traffic flows from a source to a destination though a plurality of networks, comprising:
A method for maintaining a traffic service level for a traffic flow in which the traffic flows from a source to a destination through a plurality of networks, wherein at least two of the networks are electrically coupled at an interconnection point, comprising:
A method for maintaining a traffic service level for a traffic flow in which the traffic flows from a source to a destination through a plurality of networks, wherein at least two of the networks are electrically coupled at an interconnection point, comprising:
