METHOD AND SYSTEM OF ENSURING QUALITY OF SERVICE BETWEEN NETWORKS USING A SIGNALING PROTOCOL

摘要

A method and system (10) for ensuring quality of service between a first network (14) with a first quality of service and a second network (32) with a second, different quality of service. The method includes dynamically mapping quality of service for data flows between the two networks (14, 32) using a signaling protocol common to the two networks (14, 32). The system (10) includes a first network (14), a second network (32), and a signaling protocol proxy (20, 30) coupled between the first and second networks (14, 32). The signaling protocol proxy (20, 30) has a module that dynamically maps quality of service for data flows flowing between the first and second networks (14, 32).
