The present invention describes a protocol with which it is possible to establish a connection suitable for voice communication in a network such as internet. In a first step, a PATH message is transmitted from an initiator ( 1 ) to a called station ( 2 ). In a second step, an RESV message is transmitted from the called station ( 2 ) back to the initiator ( 1 ), along the same route ( 23 ) followed by the PATH message. If either the initiator ( 1 ), or the called station ( 2 ), or both, contain information in the PATH message and/or the RESV message that indicates payment willingness, each router ( 22 ) along the route ( 23 ) will reserve a part of its capacity for a direct connection. |
