A method and an arrangement in an IP network provides a scalable solution for reserving resources to obtain a predictable QoS end-to-end in a heterogeneous IP network. The object is achieved by categorizing the destination domain with a domain property label that for example informs about the availability of resources in the destination domain and about how to obtain QoS to the endpoint in this particular domain category.

A method, a unit and a computer program product for providing topology awareness information within an IP network includes a central node and a plurality of routers, wherein the probe is implemented in a router within the IP network and the probe belongs to a topology awareness system, that includes: elements for obtaining and maintaining relationship with other probes within the IP network, elements for collecting information about other network elements e.g. routers and switches, elements for communicating topology information with the central node of the topology awareness system, and elements for obtaining information concerning local resources on the router where the probe is implemented.
