Abstract
Apparatus and a method for controlling a network from a layer 2 node receives multiple latency measurement histograms from the layer 1 nodes and aggregates corresponding bins of the latency measurement histograms to generate an aggregated histogram. Each corresponding bin of the multiple latency measurement histograms and of the aggregated histogram represents a respective range of latency measurement values. The apparatus and method determine from the aggregated histogram, a range of latency measurement values matching a predetermined percentile and transmit control information to at least one network device responsive to the determined range of latency measurement values being greater than a predetermined latency value.
