1. A method for resource provisioning, the method comprising:

  • identifying, by a controller, one or more candidate wireless paths for carrying a service flow to a destination, the one or more candidate wireless paths including at least a first wireless path comprising a first set of links connected in series;

    obtaining load characteristics associated with the first set of links;

    determining a first cost for carrying the service flow over the first wireless path in accordance with the load characteristics associated with the first set of links; and

    prompting establishment of the first wireless path when the first cost for carrying the service flow over the first wireless path is less than a threshold, wherein the first cost includes a component corresponding to a probability that one or more links in the first set of links will experience an outage if the service flow is carried over the first wireless path.
