Abstract
A method for establishing a network connection through a link issuing from a physical port is disclosed. The link has an aggregation of connections. The network connection has a required capacity. The method first computes, from mean bit rates of the aggregation of connections, a mean aggregate bit rate over the aggregation of connections. The method secondly computes, from burst durations from the aggregation of connections, a mean aggregate burst duration over the aggregation of connections. The method thirdly computes an equivalent capacity required on the link by the aggregation of connections, the equivalent capacity being a function of the mean aggregate bit rate and the mean aggregate burst duration. The method fourthly computes an aggregate equivalent capacity, the aggregate equivalent capacity being a function of the equivalent capacity and the required capacity of the connection. The method fifthly computes a bandwidth that would be reserved on the link after establishing the connection, the bandwidth being a minimum of a Gaussian approximation and the aggregate equivalent capacity. Then the network connection is established if the bandwidth is less than or equal to a tot…
