Method for dynamic connection management in integrated communication networks

摘要

A method (800, 900, 1000) provides dynamic connection management in integrated communication networks such that an acceptable quality of service (QOS) over an entire duration of a connection is maintained. For example, the present invention facilitates adjustment of the QOS towards a requested level for a permanent voice call, holding a connection intact until a desired path is obtained. Where possible, a new path for the connection provides at least one agreed value that is renegotiated to a more desirable value without degrading the other agreed values.
