Abstract: A packet switched communications network that includes nodes that are interconnected by links, is dimensioned to accommodate committed bandwidths for ports that are connected to packet switched communications network. Bandwidth of a given link that includes first and second ends is provided, based on a link dimensioning rule that is a function of committed bandwidths from ports that are connected to the first end of the given link and ports that are connected to the second end of the given link. The packet switched communications network provider agrees to provide communications service for a customer through the packet switched communications network at a first committed bandwidth. At least some of the links are dimensioned to accommodate the first committed bandwidth. Upon occurrence of degraded performance for the customer over the packet switched communications network, the packet switched communications network provider agrees to provide communications service for the customer at a second committed bandwidth that is greater than the first committed bandwidth. The packet switched communications network provider then dimensions at least some of the links to accommodate the second committed bandwidth.

Abstract: A method for facilitating the design and assignment of virtual networks, such as virtual local area networks (VLANs). The method includes receiving a request to add a new node to a base virtual network including a number of base nodes. A plurality of potential routes are determined between the new access node and the base nodes. For each potential route, a virtual network total hub value is determined. The virtual network total hub value is the sum of a hub value for each base node and a hub value for the new node. The hub value is determined for a node in response to bandwidth received at the node multiplied by a number of trunks traversed in reaching the node. One of the potential routes yielding the minimum virtual network total hub value is selected.
