Paths are assigned () through the one or more physical network domains for the VN members such that the assigned paths for the VN members of the first group provide dedicated resource allocations to each VN member of the first group and such that at least one pair of VN members of the second group traversing a common physical link share a bandwidth allocation for the common physical link.
