Probing network nodes for optimization

摘要

A method is disclosed for optimizing a network that is formed from a plurality of nodes. The NC node of the network compiles an order that the plurality of nodes perform a probing operation. The order is typically round robin. The NC node receives a request from a client that identifies a next node to perform the probing operation. Based on the request, the NC node changes the order so that the next node performs the probing operation after the current node that is performing the probing operation has completed the operation.

1. A method of optimizing a network that comprises a plurality of nodes, the method comprising:
determining an order in which the plurality of nodes perform a bitloading operation to determine a proper bitloading on the paths between the nodes of the network; receiving a request from a first node, wherein the request identifies a next node to perform the bitloading operation; and changing the order so that the next node performs the bitloading operation after a current node that is performing the bitloading operation.
