The invention is related to the technical implementation of an Internet user subscription with service differentiation. Service differentiation is required in order to give certain quality guarantees in an IP network which are necessary for demanding applications such as IP Telephony, IP Videophony or gaming. The current solution uses too much processor capacity of the IP edge router, and the continous adjustment of the configuration of all IP edge routers in the network is necessary. The invention makes it possible, with a once-only configuration of IP edge routers, and with large numbers of users, to have IP traffic classified for differentiated handling by an IP edge router according to different subscriptions. This is achieved by assigning to users an IP address in which the subscription is encoded as a bit pattern in a fixed location. |
