Abstract
A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes receiving a first portion of an identifier associated with a communication session involving a first endpoint that generated the first portion of the identifier. The method also includes receiving a second portion of the identifier associated with the communication session involving a second endpoint that generated the second portion of the identifier. The method can further include communicating a reservation request associated with a network resource to be allocated for the communication session. The reservation request includes the first portion and the second portion of the identifier.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving a first portion of an identifier associated with a communication session involving a first endpoint that generated the first portion of the identifier;
- receiving a second portion of the identifier associated with the communication session involving a second endpoint that generated the second portion of the identifier;
- and
- communicating a reservation request associated with a network resource to be allocated for the communication session, wherein the reservation request includes the first portion and the second portion of the identifier.
Logic encoded in one or more tangible media that includes code for execution and when executed by a processor operable to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a first portion of an identifier associated with a communication session involving a first endpoint that generated the first portion of the identifier;
- receiving a second portion of the identifier associated with the communication session involving a second endpoint that generated the second portion of the identifier;
- and
- communicating a reservation request associated with a network resource to be allocated for the communication session, wherein the reservation request includes the first portion and the second portion of the identifier.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory element configured to store code;
- a processor operable to execute instructions associated with the code;
- and
- a resource reservation protocol element configured to interface with the memory element and the processor such that the apparatus can:
- receive a first portion of an identifier associated with a communication session involving a first endpoint that generated the first portion of the identifier;
- receive a second portion of the identifier associated with the communication session involving a second endpoint that generated the second portion of the identifier;
- and
- communicate a reservation request associated with a network resource to be allocated for the communication session, wherein the reservation request includes the first portion and the second portion of the identifier.
