1. A method for reserving resources for a packet-switched communication network comprising a number N of relaying nodes, said reservation being established following a reservation plan, comprising:
i) determining for each of said N nodes at least one resource reservation plan defined by a plan identifier characterizing said reservation plan and associated with a stream identifier and with at least two ports of each of said N nodes, and in ii) memorizing for each of said N nodes the different plans related to them, and wherein each time that one of the N nodes receives a message requesting a new resource reservation or pre-reservation for a stream, a new plan can be determined for this node that is associated with this new reservation or pre-reservation.
