METHOD FOR CONFIGURING QUALITY-OF-SERVICE QUANTITIES IN A NETWORK HAVING A FIRST NETWORK SEGMENT AND MULTIPLE SECOND NETWORK SEGMENTS INCLUDING MULTIPLE NETWORK SUBSCRIBERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18302411 titled 'METHOD FOR CONFIGURING QUALITY-OF-SERVICE QUANTITIES IN A NETWORK HAVING A FIRST NETWORK SEGMENT AND MULTIPLE SECOND NETWORK SEGMENTS INCLUDING MULTIPLE NETWORK SUBSCRIBERS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for configuring quality-of-service quantities in a network with multiple network segments and gateways.
- The network is structured in a tree-like hierarchy with multiple stages.
- Each gateway in a stage is connected to precisely one gateway in the stage below it.
- The method involves a gateway receiving a quality-of-service request from a network subscriber.
- The gateway checks if it has enough available quality-of-service quantity to fulfill the request.
- If there is not enough quantity, the request is rejected.
- If there is enough quantity, the request is forwarded to the gateway in the stage below.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for configuring quality-of-service quantities in a network including a first network segment has a first gateway as a network subscriber and each of multiple second network segments has a second gateway as a network subscriber. The first gateway and the second gateways are logically set up in a tree structure having multiple stages. Each gateway in a stage is connected in a data-conducting manner to precisely one gateway in a stage situated below. The first gateway forms the lowest stage. Each gateway makes a quality-of-service quantity available for the forwarding of data. The method includes: an addressed gateway receiving a quality-of-service request from a requesting network subscriber; checking whether the addressed gateway has a sufficient free quality-of-service quantity; if not, rejecting the quality-of-service request by a negative reply; if so, forwarding the quality-of-service request to the gateway in the stage situated below.
