Abstract
Communication between a source and a destination is dynamically established. A connection request is received. The connection request is based on a request transmitted over a best-effort path from the source. A network connection is established having a specified quality of service (QoS) based on the request between the source and the destination. Data for a first application is transmitted over the network connection and data for a second application is transmitted over the best-effort path.
Claims20
A method of dynamically establishing communication between a source and a destination, comprising:
- receiving a connection request based on a request transmitted over a best-effort path from the source;
- and
- establishing a network connection having a specified quality of service (QoS) based on the request between the source and the destination,
- wherein data for a first application is transmitted over the network connection and data for a second application is transmitted over the best-effort path.
A system implemented on at least one processor for dynamically establishing communication between a source and a destination, comprising:
- a receiver operable to receive a connection request based on a request transmitted over a best-effort path from the source;
- and
- a processor operable to establish a network connection having a specified quality of service (QoS) based on the request between the source and the destination,
- wherein data for a first application is transmitted over the network connection and data for a second application is transmitted over the best-effort path.
A computer readable medium storing a computer program, recorded on the computer readable medium, for dynamically establishing communication between a source and a destination, the medium comprising:
- a receiving code, recorded on the computer readable medium, operable to receive a connection request based on a request transmitted over a best-effort path from the source;
- and
- an establishing code, recorded on the computer readable medium, operable to establish a network connection having a specified quality of service (QoS) based on the request between the source and the destination,
- wherein data for a first application is transmitted over the network connection and data for a second application is transmitted over the best-effort path.
