<p>A network connection between an origination node (30-1) and a destination node (40) is dynamically determined and established during a tele/datacommunications session. At commencement of the session the originating node provides (i) an address of the destination node, and (ii) a set of prescribed quality connection parameters. During the session, the set of prescribed quality connection parameters is used by a quality connection server (20) to determine an acceptable sequence of links between the originating node and the destination node. In accordance with the determination, the quality connection server sets up connections over the acceptable sequence of links whereby data packets are transmitted between the originating node and the destination node during the session.</p> |
