#CMT# #/CMT# The method involves receiving a connection establishing message at an intermediate node (B) on a connection path, and evaluating communication resources of the intermediate node for downward and upward data flows. Content of the message is updated and transmitted to a terminator node (C). The message is received at the terminator node. A reservation message including traffic parameters or descriptors (31, 32) is sent to an initiator node (A). The resources are reserved for the downward data flow according to the descriptors along the connection path. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a communication device for a communication network, comprising communication resources. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Method for establishing an asymmetrical label switched path connection between an initiator node and a terminator node in a communication network with an Internet Protocol/Multiprotocol label switching or generalized multiprotocol label switching control plane using a communication device (claimed). #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The method ensures the establishment of an asymmetric label switched path connection with a single exchange of signaling messages between the initiator node and the terminator node, in an efficient manner. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic representation illustrating steps of a method for establishing an asymmetrical label switched path. A : Initiator node B : Intermediate node C : Terminator node 11, 12, 31, 32 : Traffic parameters or descriptors. |
