Network path selection based on bandwidth

摘要

Determining a predetermined number of paths from a source node to a destination node in a network with nodes interconnected by links having metric values. A path between the source node and a current node is determined and expanded using selected links connected to the current node. The expanded paths are evaluated based on a value for a selected metric to determine those expanded paths having desirable selected metric values. The expanded paths with desirable selected metric values are evaluated to determine the path having the highest available bandwidth for all distinct segments.
