  • monitoring, a load attribute of one or more network flows traversing an ingress port of at least one network element in a software-defined networking (SDN) enabled network;

    upon determining that the load attribute of a first network element in the SDN enabled network exceeds a predefined threshold, issuing, by the first network element, a high load notification to an application;

    provisioning, by the application, an additional service on the external network; and

    extending, by the application, the SDN enabled network to include the additional service on the external network.
