Abstract
A method and apparatus are described including selecting a first route between a source node and a destination node using a bandwidth-aware routing protocol, determining if the selected first route satisfies a bandwidth requirement of an application of the source node, initiating a switch to a new channel selected from a back-up channel list if the bandwidth requirement of the application is not satisfied by the selected route, selecting a second route over the new channel using the bandwidth-aware routing protocol, determining if the selected second route over the new channel satisfies the bandwidth requirement of the application of the source node and streaming data from the source node to the destination node if the selected first route satisfies the bandwidth requirement of the application or if the selected second route over the new channel satisfies the bandwidth requirement of the application.
