Abstract

A method of allocating resources in a network for the transmission of a data flow is disclosed. The method involves receiving a query specifying one or more quality-of-service (QoS) requirements for the data flow and identifying, based on the specified QoS requirements, one or more QoS models from a set of stored QoS models, each QoS model defining a class of service available in the network. A query response specifying the identified QoS models is transmitted. Subsequently, a reservation request is received specifying at least one of the identified QoS models. Resources are allocated in the network for the data flow based on the at least one QoS model specified in the reservation request.
