ABSTRACT:
A system and method for optimizing the use of network resources is described. In one embodiment, an enterprise first requests provisioning of network resources for a particular transaction. Responsive to that request, network resources are dynamically configured to meet the enterprise's request. When the transaction is complete, the network resources are returned to a default state.
