Apparatus for admission control in an sub-IP-based communication network

摘要

The device has a control unit (CM) to which data is supplied by a network management system (NMS3). The control unit links a call to service criteria and designates a communication network (NIP2) if it receives a transfer request via a sub IP level network (NSIP). A call transfer request is send to another control device (S2) if available resources satisfying the criteria exist among the data received. The data represents information of connections between border routers (BR3-K) of another communication network and linked resources. An Independent claim is also included for a network equipment connected to network management system managing a sub IP level protocol communication network.
