Abstract
A control mechanism enables a destination router to authenticate a response time request issued by a source router. The control mechanism uses a control message that is transmitted by the source router to the destination router. Receipt of the control message by the destination router causes the destination router to listen for a server request message for a designated response time. The source router, after sending the control message, transmits a server request message to the destination router. In the event that the destination router receives the server request message within the designated response time, then the destination router responds to the server request message by providing the request to service software. The control message may encapsulate a message that holds the response time request. The request message may be encrypted.
