Abstract
The disclosure relates to a method for transmitting data of an application, which runs on source nodes, to a target node. Required resources are requested for the transmission in a network and the network may be subdivided into at least two virtual sub-networks and has a plurality of nodes. The method includes requesting of resources specified by a plurality of quality parameters via an application which runs on the source node, and transmitting data of the application via a virtual sub-network in which the requested resources are available.
Claims16
A method for transmitting data relating to an application, the method comprising:
- requesting, by the application running on a source node within a network, resources specified by a plurality of quality parameters, wherein the network is configured to be subdivided into at least two virtual subnetworks having a plurality of nodes;
- and
- transmitting, to a target node, the data relating to the application via a virtual subnetwork of the at least two virtual subnetworks in which the requested resources are available.
A network node comprising:
- an application configured to request resources specified by a plurality of quality parameters, the application running on the network node within a network, wherein the network is configured to be subdivided into at least two virtual subnetworks having a plurality of nodes,
- wherein the network node is configured to transmit to a target node data relating to the application via a virtual subnetwork of the at least two virtual subnetworks in which the requested resources are available.
A network comprising:
- at least two network nodes configured to be subdivided into one or more virtual subnetworks, wherein a network node of the at least two network nodes comprises an application configured to request resources specified by a plurality of quality parameters, wherein the network node is configured to transmit to a target node data relating to the application via a virtual subnetwork of the at least two virtual subnetworks in which the requested resources are available;
- and
- a network interface controller for setting up, managing, or setting up and managing the virtual subnetworks.
A controller for managing resources for a data transmission, which are available in a network and are at least partially provided for transmitting data from an application, the controller being configured to:
- receive a request from an application with regard to a resource for the transmission in a network;
- obtain information relating to the network;
- and
- reserve a portion of the available resources for the application.
A computer program product having program instructions configured to:
- request, by the computer program product running on a source node within a network, resources specified by a plurality of quality parameters, wherein the network is configured to be subdivided into at least two virtual subnetworks having a plurality of nodes;
- and
- transmit, to a target node, the data relating to the computer program product via a virtual subnetwork of the at least two virtual subnetworks in which the requested resources are available.
