ABSTRACT:
Even though network connections have priorities for reconnection and preemption of other connections upon a failure, these priorities are fixed based on the Service Level Agreement (SLA) between the Service Provider and the customer, and do not depend on the actual outage time, or downtime, during the operation of the network. Only a fixed pecking order for reconnection is guaranteed. Therefore they cannot ensure the outage a connection which experiences downtimes limited to the SLA. With the present invention, the priorities of the network connections are determined responsive to the failures of the network connections. The priorities of the network connections can also be determined responsive to the permitted downtime of the connections to better meet the SLA of the connection. Another factor in varying a network connection priority can be the expected downtime of a connection.
