Abstract

See full text

A method for relieving network node congestion includes determining an average of an aggregated load on a network node that routes network traffic, projecting a demand on the network node based on extrapolating the average of the aggregated load to a future period, determining a current level of congestion on the network node, and projecting a future level of congestion on the network node based on the projected demand and the current level of congestion. An available capacity of other network nodes in a portion of the communication network that includes the network node is determined, as well as whether the projected future level of congestion on the network node can be relieved using the determined available capacity of the other network nodes.
