In an aspect, the present application is directed to a computer-implemented method, a computer system, and a computer program product to manage traffic in a network, In an aspect a computer-implemented method to manage traffic in a network is provided. The method comprises: receiving a capacity request, wherein the capacity request comprises a request for capacity on the network; evaluating whether the capacity requested by the capacity request in view of a measure of currently in-use network capacity on the network would exceed a threshold level; if the threshold level would not be exceeded, the capacity request is fulfilled so that a corresponding network request can be granted for transmission over the network; and if the threshold level would be exceeded, retrieving and analyzing real-time capacity data to determine an available network capacity of the network to be compared to the capacity requested in the capacity request. |
