Abstract
A traffic engineering module of a telecommunication device in a telecommunication network. The traffic engineering module determines traffic distribution and traffic share for each one of a set of paths between a source and a destination of the telecommunication network. The traffic distribution is adjusted on at least one of: a timer expires, receipt of load-losses information related to the critically-loaded link. The traffic engineering module includes first determining module determining for each path an equivalent load as a function of received load information and received losses information of the path, and provides thereby a set of equivalent loads; second determining module determining a maximum equivalent load out of the set of equivalent loads; and third determining module determining for each of the path an increase in traffic share proportional to a difference between the maximum equivalent load and the equivalent load of the path.
