The system (112) has an inventory of resources of a communication network (11), where the system receives a quality of service class comprising performance parameters, from a service layer (3). Internal paths of the network between input nodes (i1, i2) and output nodes (e1-e3) are determined relative to the parameters to support the class. The determined paths and transmission capacity qualities that are respectively utilized on the paths for satisfying the class, are stored. Advertising of information with the nodes associated to the paths for the class is authorized at the layer. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) an inter-domain architecture comprising a network layer (2) a method for reserving a path for providing a service demanded by a user in an inter-domain architecture. |
