ABSTRACT:
A capacity aware system that facilitates activation of a new service in a dynamic network is provided. The system calculates the available capacity of the network, at a given time, and determines if sufficient capacity is available for new service activation as per the SLA (Service Level Agreement) requirements. If SLA conditions are satisfied, the system can active a new service and update the network capacity, else, if the conditions are not satisfied the system can provide means to extend network capacity or reject the service. Thus, the system activates a new service only if the specified bandwidth is available and ensures that the SLA being promised to a customer is met.
