METHOD OF MANAGING REAL-TIME SERVICES AND CORRESPONDING PACKET-BASED TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

摘要

The invention concerns a method of managing real-time services in a packet-based telecommunications network (1) of a plurality of coequal nodes (10 to 14) and a telecommunications network (1) for executing this method. A rule base (113) for each node (10 to 14) is defined in consideration of the capabilities of each node (10 to 14) and/or the capabilities of all other nodes (10 to 14). After receiving information about an event requiring action (401,402, 403), one or more of said nodes (10 to 14) determine node-specific action in consideration of said rule base (113) and node-specific aggregated data (114) as reaction to said event. Media data and/or signaling data associated with said real-time services are routed based on the determined action.
