First Claim
1. A method to reroute a data transmission, such as a call, having a first termination point, a second termination point, a first network element and a second network element based upon Quality of Service (QoS), said method comprising:
- establishing a quality of service threshold;
connecting a first communication path between said first and second termination points through said first and second network elements;
testing said quality of service along said first communication path;
generating a quantitative value based at least in part on said quality of service;
establishing a second communication path between said first and second network element for said data transmission if said quantitative value is not up to the level of said quantitative quality of service threshold; and
rerouting said data transmission through said established second communication path between said first and second network element while maintaining said termination points.

Abstract
A method to reroute a call with a first and second termination point based upon Quality of Service (QoS) is disclosed. The method comprises establishing a quality of service threshold, connecting a first communication path between the two termination points through the network elements, testing said quality of service along said first communication path and generating a quantitative value based at least in part on said quality of service. The method continues with establishing a second communication path between the network elements if the quantitative value is not up to the level of said quantitative quality of service threshold; and rerouting said data transmission through the newly established second communication path between the network elements while maintaining said termination points.

13. A system having a first and second termination point that enables a data transmission to be rerouted between said first and second network element comprising:
-
a quantitative quality of service threshold; a quality of service test module adapted to measure the quality of service and derive a quantitative value for quality of service; a first and second network element, said first and second network element having a first communication path set between them; and a rerouting module adapted to set up a second communication path between said first and second network element and reroute said data transmission through said second communication path while maintaining said data transmission between said first and second termination points if said quantitative value for quality of service of said first communication path is not to the level of said quantitative quality of service threshold. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
