ABSTRACT:
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates improved resource allocation in a network. During operation, the system determines one or more metrics value for a node based on a characteristic of the node and assigns nodes within the network to access groups based on each node's characteristic-metric value and a grouping policy. The system further constructs a logical hierarchy of access groups based on the characteristic-metric values of the nodes within each access group. Additionally, the system allows a node to forward traffic to a next-hop node identified within an access group on a logical hierarchy level, thereby facilitating better resource allocation in the network.
