SYSTEM AND METHOD OF DETERMINING QOS ESTABLISHMENT MODE

摘要

A system and method for determining which of a user node and an IP network will establish quality of Service (QoS). The IP network transmits a message indicating whether the IP network, the user node, or both the IP network and the user node are capable of es tablishing QoS. If only the IP network or the user node can establish QoS, then it is done in that manner. If either can establish QoS, the user node may select which entity will establish QoS.
