ABSTRACT:
A method and system for allocating bandwidth in a communication network is disclosed. Processing a request for bandwidth includes evaluating potential paths. Configuration rules and propagation rules may be applied to eliminate non-viable paths. A path quality indicator for remaining paths is derived based on calculations and signal characteristic measurements. A path having a suitable path quality indicator is selected and may be validated using existing representative or new signals.
