Abstract
The communication network includes a plurality of nodes interconnected by a plurality of links. The allocation unit assigns one or more network flows to the communication pipe. The one or more network flows have the same source node and the same destination node. The allocation unit determines a required capacity of the communication pipe based on the amount of network traffic associated to the one or more network flows and based on one or more minimal quality of service requirements associated with the one or more network flows. The allocation unit allocates one or more links of the plurality of links to the communication pipe for routing the one or more network flows from the source node to the destination node.
