Method for providing guaranteed quality of service in IP network and system thereof
First Claim
1. A method for providing guaranteed Quality of Services (QoS) in an IP network, comprising:
- a. after receiving a service request with guaranteed QoS requirement from a subscriber, a relevant service entity in the network obtaining the addresses of source subscriber and destination subscriber and QoS parameters for the service through analyzing the service request, and sending a route selection and resource application request to bearer control layer of the network;
b. a bearer network resource manager in the bearer control layer allocating route and resources for the service in the service bearer logic network according to said addresses of the source subscriber and the destination subscriber and service type; and
c. forwarding the traffic streams in the service bearer logic network according to the route and resources determined by the bearer control layer.

Abstract
The invention discloses a method for providing guaranteed Quality of Services (QoS) in an IP network. In the invention, separated with the function of route selection for IP packets in IP bearer network, the same function for services with guaranteed QoS requirements is accomplished by bearer network resource managers in bearer control layer. After completing the route selection according to network resource occupation condition, the bearer network resource managers control the edge routers so that the traffic streams can be forwarded according to the path designated by the resource manager in the bearer network with multi-level label stack technology. The invention also discloses a system for providing guaranteed QoS in an IP network. The method and system according to the invention have good expansibility and little impact to the prior network.
