Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices for managing latency in a network with a plurality of switches, each switch having client side ports and line side ports. A required bandwidth for each link between connected pairs of the plurality of switches is received. A client-side capacity value for each switch is received. An initial undersubscription factor is calculated based on the required bandwidths and the client-side capacity values. A desired undersubscription factor is calculated for each switch based on the initial undersubscription factor and the client side capacity values. A desired bandwidth is calculated for each link between connected pairs of the plurality of switches based on the required bandwidths and the desired undersubscription factors.
