Abstract:
A user of a network service (such as an Ethernet e-line) can request a change in capacity (such as bandwidth) for a particular time period. When that time period occurs, the network service is evaluated to determine what switches need to be configured and how to configure them. The switches are configured accordingly. When the time period expires, the switches are re-configured to their original service level.
