AUTOMATIC TRACKING OF NETWORK PARAMETERS IN THE EVENT OF CHANGES IN TRAFFIC LOAD

摘要

In one aspect method and device for tracking network parameters of a communications network, which is formed by links, with access controls for the purpose of limiting the traffic load are provided. The traffic matrix of the network is regularly determined and probabilities of the blocking of traffic are determined based on the traffic matrix. If the blocking probabilities exceed a criterion, typically a maximum blocking probability, the access controls are oppositely controlled in an automatic manner by resetting the limits for the access controls. This resetting can precede a resetting of link weights for optimizing the distribution of traffic in the network. Automatic continuous adaptation of network parameters for optimizing the probability of authorization is enabled for the traffic flows to be transmitted.
