SERVICE PREEMPTION SELECTION SYSTEMS AND METHODS IN NETWORKS

摘要

Systems and methods for service preemption selection implemented by a node in a network include receiving, from an ingress link, a request to establish a service on a path in the network while preempting one or more existing services if required to establish the service, wherein the request comprises a list of any previously selected services for preemption and an indication of whether preemption is required on the ingress link; selecting, if required based on the indication, one or more services for preemption on the ingress link based on service selection criteria; and forwarding the request on an egress link to an adjacent node with any updates based on the selecting.
