TIME SYNCHRONIZED RESOURCE RESERVATION OVER PACKET SWITCHED NETWORKS

摘要

A method is intended for scheduling reservations of resources in a packet- switched communication network comprising end-nodes (H1-H3) and core network switches (S1-S2). This method comprises the steps of: ° including a time information to each request, issued by an end-node (H1) and forwarded by at least one core network switch (S1), and requesting a resource reservation for receiving a stream defined by specifications at a time which is represented by this time information, and ° storing the time information, which is included into each forwarded end-node request in correspondence with the associated stream specifications, into at least one related database managed by a core network switch (S1) which participates to the request forwarding.
