Abstract
A method for establishing connections along a network route, including determining a capacity and a set of concatenation constraints, and allocating selected resources along the route to allow the delivery of any combination of signals satisfying the set of concatenation constraints and having a total capacity not exceeding the determined capacity. Also disclosed is a method of establishing at least one higher layer connection (HLC) within a lower layer connection (LLC), including determining a first capacity and a first set of concatenation constraints associated with the LLC; establishing the LLC by allocating selected resources along the route to allow the delivery of any combination of signals satisfying the first set of concatenation constraints and having a total capacity not exceeding the first capacity; and, for each HLC, using a respective subset of the allocated resources to carry a respective combination of signals satisfying a respective set of second concatenation constraints which is a subset of the first set of concatenation constraints.
