Dynamic path computation in network based on automatically detected unavoidable risks

Abstract

A system and method for dynamic path computation in a network based on automatically detected unavoidable risks, comprising: receiving (402) a plurality of shared risks associated with any one of one or more network layers, network links, and network equipment of a network (10); automatically (404) creating a local neglect list for the source node (12A) and a remote neglect list referencing the destination node (12F) based on the plurality of sharing risks; and utilizing (406) the plurality of sharing risks in path computation between the source node (12A) and the destination node (12F), and ignoring any one of the list of local ignoring and the list of remote ignoring of the plurality of sharing risks.
