FIELD: information technology.SUBSTANCE: network nodes can add information to a central database (220, 300) that identifies their connections to other network nodes. Central database (220, 300) can thereby serve as a repository of information indicating connections between network nodes. When first network node (Node 0) needs to establish a session to second network node (Node 1), it can interrogate central database (220, 300) to learn what existing connections, if any, can be used for session. When existing connections provide more than one available pathway between first and second network nodes (Node 0, Node 1), first network node (Node 0) may select among existing connections in response to quality of service values that are provided by central database (220, 300) for those connections.EFFECT: disclosed is a method of configuring communication connections between network nodes.25 cl, 19 dwg |
