Abstract
A method for traffic engineering in a communication system made up of network nodes arranged in multiple interconnected networks, including at least one bi-directional ring network having an inner ring and an outer ring. The bi-directional ring network is defined as a multi-access network for purposes of a routing protocol used in the system. Constraint information is advertised with regard to connections on the inner and outer rings between the nodes within the at least one bi-directional ring network. Traffic flow is routed through the system in accordance with the routing protocol, so that the flow passes through the at least one bi-directional ring network on at least one of the connections on one of the inner and outer rings that is selected responsive to the constraint information.
