<p>The invention concerns a method for allocating a communication pipe (3) in a communication network (1) as well as a corresponding allocation unit (2). The communication network comprises a plurality of nodes (N1,..., N5) interconnected by a plurality of links (L1,..., L7). The allocation unit (2) assigns one or more network flows to the communication pipe (3). The one or more network flows have the same source node (N1) and the same destination node (N2). The allocation unit (2) determines a required capacity of the communication pipe (3) based on the amount of network traffic associated to the one or more network flows and based on one or more minimal quality of service requirements associated with the one or more network flows. The allocation unit (2) allocates one or more links (L6, L5, L3) of the plurality of links (L1,..., L7) to the communication pipe (3) for routing the one or more network flows from the source node (N1) to the destination node (N2).</p> |
