Methods, devices, and systems for load balancing between a plurality of waveguides
First Claim
1. A waveguide device, comprising:
- a processing system including a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;
identifying an overload event of the waveguide device by monitoring signals received over a network from a group of source devices;
receiving load information from each of a plurality of waveguides resulting in a plurality of load information;
analyzing the plurality of load information resulting in a load analysis of the plurality of waveguides;
identifying a recipient waveguide from the plurality of waveguides based on the load analysis;
identifying a first source device of the group of source devices; and
notifying the first source device to provide communications to the recipient waveguide and not to the waveguide device to mitigate the overload event.

Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, identifying an overload event according to monitoring signals received from a group of source devices over a network. Other aspects can include receiving load information from each of a plurality of waveguides resulting in a plurality of load information. Further aspects can include analyzing the plurality of load information resulting in a load analysis of the plurality of waveguides. Additional aspect can include identifying a recipient waveguide from the plurality of waveguides based on the load analysis. Also, aspects can include identifying a first source device, and notifying the first source device to provide communications to the recipient waveguide and not to the waveguide device to mitigate the overload event. Other embodiments are disclosed.
