Abstract
Data packets of a packet-switching network for which transmission of a requested quality is to be assured, are routed via an alternate network. In a source node, such data packets are respectively identified by a bit pattern known to an access node, which is connected to the source node, either directly or indirectly, via at least one intermediate node. The bit pattern is recognized upon arrival in the access node, and as a result of identifying the data packets with the known bit pattern, the data packets are re-routed onto the alternate network.
