First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of adapting an association of physical resources with a plurality of summarized resources corresponding to a virtual topology of a domain in a hierarchical routed network, the method comprising:
- allocating the physical resources to the plurality of summarized resources in the domain;
monitoring a status of the allocated physical resources within the domain, wherein the monitoring comprises monitoring demand for the allocated physical resources associated with each of the plurality of summarized resources within the domain in the hierarchical routed network; and
redistributing the allocation of physical resources among the plurality of summarized resources in dependence on the monitored demand, wherein the redistributing is performed without allocating previously unallocated physical resources to the plurality of summarized resources.

11. An apparatus configured for adapting an association of physical resources with a plurality of summarized resources corresponding to a virtual topology of a domain in a hierarchical routed network, the apparatus comprising processing circuitry and associated interface circuitry that are collectively configured to:
-
allocate the physical resources to the plurality of summarized resources in the domain; monitor a status of the allocated physical resources within the domain, wherein to monitor the status, the processing circuitry is configured to monitor demand for the allocated physical resources associated with each of the plurality of summarized resources within the domain in the hierarchical routed network; and redistribute the allocation of physical resources among the plurality of summarized resources in dependence on the monitored demand, wherein the redistribution is performed without allocating previously unallocated physical resources to the plurality of summarized resources. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
