US Patent:

20130205029, Aug 8, 2013

Filed:

Nov 21, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/683903

Inventors:

Mark Taylor - Boulder CO, US
Kevin John Royer - Denver CO, US
Nicolas Pujet - Boulder CO, US
Michael Mooney - Arvada CO, US
John Ryan - Longmont CO, US

Assignee:

LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS, LLC - Broomfield CO

International Classification:

H04L 12/56

US Classification:

709226

Abstract:

Implementations described and claimed herein provide a system and methods for balancing network loads across distinct provider networks. In one implementation, a virtual network representative of at least a first provider network is established having at least one interconnection point where network traffic is exchanged between the first provider network and a second provider network and having at least one provider edge port and at least one potential interconnection point. A measurement of a bandwidth between the at least one provider edge port and the at least one interconnection point is obtained. A measurement of a distance between the at least one provider edge port and a geographically closest of the at least one potential interconnection point or the at least one interconnection point is obtained. A network load indication for the first provider network as a function of the bandwidth measurement and the distance measurement is obtained.
