Abstract

A system and method identifies ranges of addresses that can be reallocated and/or split to cause traffic to be redirected in a network to reduce the utilization of the most utilized links in an autonomous system. The system and method then identifies the utilization of the autonomous system after the reallocation and/or split and reports on the differences of utilization pre- and post-split.
