Abstract
A method implemented in a network apparatus used in a network is disclosed. The method includes sensing network topology and network utilization, receiving a request from an application, deciding path setup requirement using network state information obtained from the network topology and the network utilization, and translating the path setup requirement into a rule to be installed. Other methods, apparatuses, and systems also are disclosed.
Claims10
A method implemented in a network apparatus used in a network, the method comprising:
- sensing network topology and network utilization;
- receiving a request from an application;
- deciding path setup requirement using network state information obtained from the network topology and the network utilization;
- and
- translating the path setup requirement into a rule to be installed;
- wherein the sensing of the network utilization comprises polling a utilization counter on each switch.
