In a communications network comprising a plurality of interconnected nodes, each node comprises at least one network device requiring allocated transmission channels, a switch connected to the network device for configuring transmission channels connected to other nodes, and a configuration controller connected to the network device and to the switch for controlling configuration of the transmission channels. The configuration controller receives signals from the network device indicative of traffic load on the network device, processes the received signals to determine that reconfiguration of the transmission channels is favoured and determines a favoured reconfiguration of the transmission channels. The configuration controller also communicates with configuration controllers at other nodes to determine paths between nodes for reconfiguration of the transmission channels, and communicates with the switch; configuration controllers at other nodes and the network device to implement reconfiguration of the transmission channels. The network devices may be routers, data switches, servers or combinations thereof.
