Method for setting up connections with guaranteed quality of service for a communications network having a resource manager

摘要

Transmission resources of one or more individual transmission links, especially of individual transmission bottlenecks, are managed by a resource manager. In the course of a setting up of a connection, the resource manager determines, by using an item of connection information, the origin and destination of the connection to be set up, and identifies whether this connection is routed over a particular transmission link. Based on the result of the determination, a message is subsequently generated and transmitted to the origin of the connection. A selection of transmission resources to be used for the connection is then carried out based on the transmitted message.
