Abstract

See full text

The invention provides a method for managing the resources of a network so that a data signal can be carried more efficiently over the network. Generally, the methods of the invention include the steps of identifying a link in the network over which the data signal can be carried, determining whether the data signal can be carried over the link as a part of a multiplexed signal, comparing network resource requirements for delivering the data signal as part of a multiplexed signal with network resource requirements for delivering the data signal directly, and allocating network resources for the data signal as a result of the comparison.
