Abstract
This technology defines an envelope of a set of constraints to impose a network characteristic. A function is created to form a combined set of envelopes to configure resources for use in the network. A path is discovered from a first state to a second state based on the combined set of envelopes. A set of service descriptors configures the function based on a load demand for the network. A path selection is tested of a set of envelopes against the load demand for the network. The set of constraints of a path selection is determined as to whether the load demand is met demand. In response to a set of envelopes meeting the load demand, a path selection is enabled for a set of constraints defined by the set of envelopes, else if the load demand is not met, then an error message is returned to the network provider.
