Abstract
Control for admitting microflows to a data network consisting of allocating logic priority levels to these microflows making it possible to implement a microflow preemption order based on this logic priority. If the service quality required for a new microflow A cannot be ensured by the internal resources of the network, it is thus possible to free the internal resources of said network by preempting a lower logic priority microflow B.
Claims8
Admission control system in a network having a certain number of edge equipment for receiving microflows to be transmitted inside said network, said system being characterized in that an application requesting service quality for the transmission of a microflow in the network includes means for allocating a logic priority to said microflow, said network including an admission controller comprising means for receiving a service quality request associated with said microflow to be transmitted and the logic priority which has been allocated to it and means to accept or prohibit said microflow.
