Decisions are based on network state information and customer requirements concerning transmission quality with accepted costs of transmission. The proposed mechanism, which is called Pay&Require, combines features of decentralized routing systems in computer networks and the newly implemented concept of centralized control determined as SDN (Software-Defined Networking).
