摘要

Includes a Network Resource Manager (NRM) in the destination domain of a stream of data packets. This NRM categorizes the destination domain of the data packets with a domain property label that e.g. informs the source NRM other NRMs about the availability of resources in the destination domain and about how to obtain Quality-of-Service (QoS) to the endpoint in this particular domain category. Independent claims are included for a computer program product, a Network Resource Manager unit and a method.
