Original Abstract Submitted
a method includes generating a visual representation of one or more multicast data trees over a service provider network, each multicast data tree exchanging data between two or more of a plurality of nodes of an entity operating over the service provider network; determining a respective network bandwidth usage over each of the one or more multicast data trees and a network bandwidth waste based on current bandwidth usage of existing data tunnels of one or more multicast data trees and replication distances associated with the plurality of nodes; modifying the one or more multicast data trees based on at least the respective network bandwidth usage over each of the one or more multicast data trees to yield a modification; generating a traffic routing policy to implement the modification; and transmitting a notification to a subset of the plurality of nodes affected by the traffic routing policy.
