An automated network comprises a plurality of boundary nodes connected to at least one other network node, each boundary node being connected to at least one other boundary node via a traffic engineering tunnel, the tunnel comprising a source boundary node and a destination boundary node. Each source boundary node monitors traffic flow along each tunnel to which it is connected, and a tunnel parameter is modified in response to a change in traffic flow. The parameter which is adjusted is typically tunnel bandwidth. The system typically operates in a Multiprotocol label switched (MPLS) environment. |
