Connection admission control in packet-oriented, multi-service networks

摘要

The present invention is generally based on the recognition that the true admissible regions for a multi-service traffic mix can be well approximated by a construction of a non-linear admissible region and one or more linear admissible regions. This makes it possible to accurately control admission of a new connection onto a transport link by checking whether the multi-service traffic mix defined by previously admitted connections together with the new connection is contained within an intersection on a non-linear admissible region and at least one linear admissible region, and admitting the connection if the traffic mix is contained within the intersecton of regions.
