Abstract: A system and method perform automated steering of network traffic over a least latency path. A service request module receives traffic parameters from a user, a process train module generates a service identification (ID) in response to a request from the service request module, and a connection admission control module generates a service ticket including the service ID and the traffic parameters, communicates with a network controller to gather information about a network, determines the least latency path through the network from the gathered information, and generates a command in the service ticket. Activation of the command configures the network to steer the traffic flow of communications of the user on the least latency path. The method implements the system.

For example, the method includes determining a protolane level flowchart from one or more flowcharts corresponding to one or more gates of a protolane selected from a set of protolanes of a geonet, wherein the one or more flowcharts correspond to conditions that can be encountered by an actor approaching the corresponding one or more gates, and wherein the geonet comprises a plurality of lane segments associated with the set of protolanes. A graph through the protolane level flowchart is generated that corresponds to actions of an actor. Reasoning of the actor is validated by testing the actions of the actor against the graph through the protolane level flowchart.
