Abstract
Multiple traffic management nodes may be coupled with separate networks and with a connecting network. The traffic management nodes monitor and classify traffic passing through the connecting network. Current paths through the connecting network are identified and used to build detour paths through the connecting network using traffic management nodes as detour nodes. The detour paths may be shortened, thereby excluding the detour nodes from each detour path. The traffic management nodes and the detour paths may be used to create a traffic engineered system for traffic passing through the connecting network.
