METHOD FOR DETERMINING A COMMUNICATION PATH IN A COMMUNICATION NETWORK BETWEEN TWO NEIGHBORING NETWORK NODES

摘要

In order to authorize a connection between two neighboring network nodes in a connecting line bundle consisting of several connecting lines, a search algorithm determines in which of the connecting lines can the peak bit rate of said connection be achieved. To this end, it is initially decided on the bas is of a bit rate threshold value whether the search algorithm is started either from a fixed or a variable reference point. The search algorithm is then use d progressively on said connecting lines until a connecting line with sufficie nt free residual transmission capacity is found or the connection is rejected.< /SDOAB>
