Abstract
The control system includes a monitoring device operable to determine information related to resource availability associated with the network entity and to communicate the information related to the resource availability to a network controller. The control system includes a data relay device, which is operable to relay data packets between a plurality of network nodes. The data relay device is operable to receive information related to data packet relaying to the network entity from the network controller. The network controller apparatus includes one or more communication interfaces, which are operable to receive information related to a resource availability from a monitoring device. The one or more communication interfaces are operable to communicate information related to data packet relaying to a data relay device. The network controller apparatus includes a routing module operable to determine the information related to data packet relaying based on the information related to the resource availability.
