Method and device for the exchange of data
First Claim
1. A method for exchanging data between components of a communication network, which are arranged hierarchically in a plurality of levels, wherein a respective component is assigned at least one of application-specific and hierarchy-specific configuration criteria, which are processed by at least one configuration module associated with all the levels, such that, when the data are transmitted between components of one or more levels, the at least one of application-specific and hierarchy-specific configuration criteria stored in the at least one configuration module are at least one of transmission-specifically processed, reception-specifically processed and adapted at a node element associated with a respective level.

Abstract
A device and method thereof for exchanging data (D) between components (K1 to Kn) of a communication network (2), particularly a computer network, which are arranged hierarchically in a plurality of levels (E1 to En). In the method, a respective component (K1 to Kn) is assigned a number of application-specific and/or hierarchy-specific configuration criteria (M1 to Mn), which are processed by at least one configuration module (4) associated with all the levels (E1 to En). As such, when the data (D) are transmitted between components (K1 to Kn) of a single level and/or several levels (E1 to En), the configuration criteria (M1 to Mn) stored in the configuration module (4) are transmission-specifically and/or reception-specifically processed and/or adapted at one of the node element (6) associated with a respective level (E1 to En).

10. A method for configuring components of a communication network hierarchically arranged in a plurality of levels, wherein a respective component is assigned at least one of application-specific and hierarchy-specific configuration criteria, which are processed by at least one configuration module associated with all the levels, such that, when data are transmitted between components of one or more levels, the corresponding configuration criteria stored in the configuration module are adapted in at least one of a transmission-specific and reception-specific manner at a node element associated with a respective level.
- 11. A device for exchanging data between components of a communication network hierarchically arranged in a plurality of levels, wherein a respective component is assigned at least one of application-specific and hierarchy-specific configuration criteria, wherein at least one configuration module associated with all the levels and a node element associated with a respective level are provided for at least one of transmission-specific and reception-specific adaptation of the corresponding configuration criteria stored in the configuration module when data are transmitted between components of at least one of a single level and several levels.

15. A computer readable medium including a program comprising instructions, which when executed, perform exchanging data between components of a communication network, which are arranged hierarchically in a plurality of levels, wherein a respective component is assigned at least one of application-specific and hierarchy-specific configuration criteria, which are processed by at least one configuration module associated with all the levels, such that, when the data are transmitted between components of one or more levels, the at least one of application-specific and hierarchy-specific configuration criteria stored in the configuration module are at least one of transmission-specifically processed, reception-specifically processed and adapted at a node element associated with a respective level.
