ABSTRACT:
A technique for autonomous network provisioning based on establishing a relation between network performance indices, traffic measurements and resource capacities, which provides automatic provisioning recommendations for identified critical links is disclosed. The technique may be implemented in a network through collaboration across node controllers and network controllers. A method for the autonomous provisioning of a network, wherein a plurality of nodes of the network collaborate to determine required additional resources, may comprise the steps of receiving at least one network-state measurement comprising at least one of a traffic measurement and a performance measurement; determining at least one critical link based at least in part on the at least one network-state measurement; and formulating at least one link provisioning recommendation for the at least one critical link.
