VERFAHREN ZUR UEBERTRAGUNG VON DATEN VON APPLIKATIONEN MIT UNTERSCHIEDLICHER QUALITÄT

摘要

The invention relates to a method for transmitting data of applications with different quality requirements in a packet-oriented data communication network that comprises communication nodes. The inventive method comprises the following steps: a) limiting the data of every application to a defined bit rate in a communication node to be passed during transmission of the data of the respective application; b) generating and storing application-specific contexts in all communication nodes to be passed during transmission of the data of the respective application; c) reserving, in line with the application-specific contexts, transmission resources in all communication nodes to be passed during transmission of the data of the respective application; d) forwarding, in line with the application-specific contexts, the data of every application from a communication node to be passed by the respective application to another communication node to be passed.
