Abstract
A data routing system for dynamically optimizing bandwidth which includes a network control unit, a route comparator, a reroute control unit and a packet reordering unit. The network control unit reserves the initial route from the source node to the end node. The route comparator determines whether an alternate route is more optimal than the initial route and the reroute control unit establishes the alternate route and reroutes the data over the alternate route. The packet reordering unit maintains the sequence of the data packets on the alternate route.
