Method for setting up a logic connecting path in a connection-oriented packet-switched communication network

Abstract

The subject matter relates to a method for setting up a logic end-to-end connecting path of a selectable first bandwidth from a starting nodal point to a target nodal point in a connection-oriented packet-switched communication network, including: determining a plurality of physical end-to-end data transmission paths from the starting nodal point to the target nodal point having second bandwidths corresponding to the logic connecting path to be set up; selecting one or more of the determined physical data transmission paths such that the second bandwidth of the physical data transmission paths in sum corresponds at least to the first bandwidth of the logic connecting path; and signaling the at least one selected physical data transmission path for setting up the logic connecting path.
