Method to establish a connection between portions of an application distributed in nodes connected to communication network using a GMPLS control plane.

摘要

The method involves generating in an external node (N1) a message with parameters defining the connection to be established. The message is analyzed to verify compatibility of parameters with applications in a generalized multi protocol label switching control plan communication network (RG) and a control plan. The message is transmitted to an external node (N2) in case of compatibility. Another message confirming session establishment is transmitted to the node (N1) when the connection parameters are supported by distributed application portion (PA2) and/or a signaling module (MS2). Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) an equipment for controlling reservation of resources for a communication network (2) an external node to be connected to a communication network.
