  • Method and apparatus for allocating backbone VLAN identifiers
    Patent number: 8787208
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for allocating backbone virtual local area network identifiers (BVIDs) to connection requests in a provider backbone bridging-traffic engineering (PBB-TE) network are described. During operation, a system (e.g., a network management system) can receive a set of connection requests for a set of connections that are desired to be set up in the PBB-TE network. Next, the system can allocate a BVID to each connection request in the set of connection requests so that, once the set of connection requests are set up in the PBB-TE network, conflicting connections in the PBB-TE network have different BVIDs.
