Abstract
A path computation method for use by a control entity () of a tenant () in a multi-tenant communications network () receives a request for computation of a path in the communications network () and obtains a current virtual topology of the communications network from a shared topology store () which is shared by the tenants. The virtual topology is a topology of the communications network which is available for use by the tenant (). The virtual topology is used to service the request. The method may create the path. The path computation may be in respect of a future time interval.
