Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for preventing network rerouting when the overhead associated with the reroute operation could result in system resources being overwhelmed. The system monitors link congestion and CPU utilization that will be caused by rerouting. A comparator determines whether the amount of congestion and CPU utilization is beyond an acceptable predetermined threshold. A reroute control unit prevents rerouting if the amount of link congestion and CPU utilization exceeds the predetermined threshold.
