Abstract
A method of operating a communications network, in which a primary learning process periodically determines which routes communications sessions are assigned to in order that the session can be carried with a requested QoS. A secondary learning process is used, in between instances of the primary learning process to check that the QoS constraints are still satisfied. If not, action is taken, for example using a load balancer to transmit the session over one or more further network routes.
