SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVISIONING OF BANDWIDTH-ON-DEMAND (BOD) SERVICES IN A TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

摘要

A system and method for provisioning bandwidth-on-demand services in atelecommunications network. A disclosed data-processing system receiveshistorical datafor the utilization of predetermined resources, the current state ofprovisioned resources fora particular moment in time, and requests to provision various services tocustomers. Thedata-processing system constructs one or more mathematical functions from thehistoricaldata or the current state of provisioned resources, or both. The systemprovisions theservice identified in the request, or provisions at least some type of servicethat is based onthe request. The provisioning is based on one or more of the constructedmathematicalfunctions, or on the current state of provisioned resources, or both. Thesystem transmits asignal based on the provisioning of the service, wherein the signal can beused to route oneor more data packets based on the provisioning.
