A METHOD FOR ALLOCATING NETWORK RESOURCES

摘要

Calls in a packet-carrying communication network which originate from respective originating interface units are routed through a routing entity of the network. Responsive to call setup requests originating from the originating interface units, parameters are established for the calls on a call-by-call basis. At least one of the established parameters is stored in the routing entity. The routing entity operates to ensure that access to resources of the network is consistent with the at least one of the stored parameters. The routing entity is a network edge device.
