METHOD, SYSTEM, ADMINISTRATION UNIT AND TERMINAL FOR THE DETECTION, REPRESENTATION AND MODIFICATION OF PARAMETERS AND PARAMETER VALUES, E. G. BAND WIDTH OR COSTS, OF AT LEAST ONE SECTION OF A CONNECTION BETWEEN A SERVER AND A TERMINAL

摘要

The invention relates to a method for the transfer of information between a terminal (1) of at least one communication network and an administration unit (4) in the communication network, in addition to a communication system, an administration unit and a communication terminal in order to carry out said method. According to the invention, parameters and parameter values of a connection between a server (7, 17) and the terminal (1) are detected by the administration unit (4) and are stored in a data base (41) of the administration unit (4). The administration unit produces one or more messages (DOWNSTREAM-MS-iD-Info) which contain at least one of the following pieces of information: - the sequence or part of the sequence of the data transfer section currently used in the connection between the server (7) and the terminal (1), - at least one parameter and parameter value of at least one data transfer section of said current sequence, - at least one alternative sequence or part of an alternative sequence of data transfer sections between the server (7) and the terminal (1), - at least one alternative sequence or part of an alternative sequence of data transfer sections between the server (7) and the terminal (1), - at least one parameter and parameter value of at least one data transfer section of said alternative sequence. The messages are transferred to the terminal (1), where they are used, especially, represented automatically for the user of the terminal. The terminal or the administrator of a data transfer section (6-1, 6-2, 6-3) can send a modification request message to the administration unit, whereby, for example, either the band width of the connection in said section is altered or an alternative section, for example, is selected via another access network. A management system (5) is provided, enabling the stored data to have an optimum connection(s) by means of a predefined target function.
