ABSTRACT:
A method and system for selecting connections to bump based on priority in a network. The present invention describes a method for selecting connections to bump in a network to accommodate an incoming connection. The method begins by receiving an incoming connection that is associated with a priority level and a bandwidth group. A plurality of existing connections is indexed by priority level and bandwidth group. A required bandwidth is calculated that is necessary to support the incoming connection. Then, a single existing connection is selected to be released from the plurality of existing connections that is associated with a lower priority and a higher bandwidth group than the incoming connection. If a single connection cannot be selected, then at least one existing connection is selected to be released having a lower priority level and at least the same bandwidth group than that of the incoming connection.
