ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, a node (e.g., a “rearranging node”) receives a trigger to rearrange one or more tunnels having a respective bandwidth value. In response, the rearranging node signals each of the tunnels with zero bandwidth at a configured time shared by the node and one or more other rearranging nodes. The node then signals each of the tunnels with its respective bandwidth value at a corresponding calculated time beyond the configured time, the corresponding calculated time for each tunnel being inversely proportional to the respective bandwidth value of that corresponding tunnel. Also, in one embodiment, a node may determine that a reason exists to rearrange tunnels, and in response, may send a trigger to one or more rearranging nodes to request that those nodes rearrange their tunnels.
