A system and method identifies the costs to be assigned to each link in a network that can more evenly balance the utilization of links in the network.

System and method for reporting traffic information for a network

A system and method enables the balancing of inter-AS traffic from a primary AS to a target AS by adding a virtual node in the primary AS that appears connected to the edge routers that advertise via (I)BGP the ability to forward communications the target AS, and modifying the (I)BGP messages reflected to the primary AS to indicate that only the virtual node may forward communications to the target AS.

Method and system for causing intra-AS network traffic to be more evenly balanced

System and method for identifying cost metrics for a network

A system and method allocates ranges of addresses that are reachable by more than one border router to one of the border routers capable of reaching those ranges of addresses and advertises those addresses as being reachable only by the border router to which each such range of addresses were assigned.

Method and apparatus for allocating traffic among routers on a computer network

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.
