Zusammenfassung:Disclosed are network management procedures that apply measurements of traffic load to achieve greater efficiency in the operation of the network. In a method for deciding whether to route an incoming call on a selected potential servi ce route, the potential service route is treated preferentially if each of its links h as available capacity that is more than sufficient by a specified margin. In a method for computing billing revenues, the non-compliance of the network service provid er with contracted requirements for carried load causes a revenue penalty to be exacted for lost bandwidth.
