Embodiments provide a control system, an apparatus, methods, and computer program products for a network node and a network controller. The control system (10) for a network entity (100) of a communication network (300) comprises a monitoring device (12), which is operable to determine information related to a resource availability associated with the network entity (100) and operable to communicate the information related to the resource availability to a network controller (200). The control system (10) further comprises a data relay device (14), which is operable to relay data packets between a plurality of network nodes, wherein the data relay device (14) is operable to receive information related to data packet relaying to the network entity (100) from the network controller (200). The network controller apparatus (20) comprises one or more communication interfaces (22), which are operable to receive information related to a resource availability from a monitoring device (12). The one or more communication interfaces (22) are further operable to communicate information related to data packet relaying to a data relay device (14). The network controller apparatus (20) comprises a routing module (24) operable to determine the information related to data packet relaying based on the information related to the resource availability. Embodiments are well-suited to distributed processing environments such as Software Defined Networks (SDN). |
