Apparatus, method and computer program product providing high performance communication bus having preferred path source routing, multi-guarantee QoS and resource reservation, management and release

摘要

Method in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a device and computer program product are provided. These, implement QoS, the first network protocol layers are provided with the relative assurance and best efforts, the hierarchy is based is to distribute physical resources between data pipes with absolute QoS guarantee, so by having a rigid / inflexible QoS guarantees a data providing resource reservation, management and distribution for resource management for each flow, to provide a communication network enhanced having an enhanced data packet source routing procedure, that provide a QoS functionality in a communication network, the exemplary embodiment of the present invention for example according to the method, to provide an apparatus and a computer program product. The communication network may employ optical and / or electrical data paths.
