Abstract
At a first network device, a plurality of paths through a network from a source network device to a destination network device are determined. A vacant bandwidth is calculated for each of the plurality of paths. A primary path is selected from the plurality of paths based on the vacant bandwidth, and a standby path is selected from the plurality of paths based on the vacant bandwidth.
