Patent abstract
A method and application function for managing data flows in a network comprising a plurality of nodes. The method comprises generating a number N of network load representatives (NLRs) of an expected loading of the network, identifying a path selection configuration for the data flows for each of the N NLRs and mapping a prevailing network loading to a selected one of the N NLRs. If the selected NLR is different from a currently selected NLR, the method triggers traffic engineering (TE) by implementing the path selection configuration of the selected NLR at nodes affected thereby. The application function may comprise an NLR generator, a path optimizer and an NLR mapper.
