ABSTRACT:
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that provides a guaranteed level of availability in a communication network. During operation, the system receives a connection request that includes a specified reliability. Next, the system determines multiple candidate routes through a network to satisfy the connection request, wherein each of these candidate routes passes through a set of links that form a path through the network. The system then examines the candidate routes to identify a route that meets the specified reliability. The system only accepts the connection request if a route that meets the specified reliability is found.
