First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for end-to-end control of data transported through an asynchronous network, comprising:
- receiving a reservation request for a data transport session, where said reservation request contains a requested class of communication service through the asynchronous network;
obtaining at least one end-to-end route through said network, where said route is based on said requested class of communication service and a state of the network; and
controlling said data transport session, such that data is forced to travel along at least one route through said asynchronous network.

Abstract
A reservation request is received for a data transport session. The reservation request contains a requested class of communication service through the asynchronous network. The state of the network along the route is then preferably determined and at least one end-to-end route through the network is obtained. The route is based on the requested class of communication service and the state of the network. The data transport session is then controlled, such that data is forced to travel along at least one route through the asynchronous network. This is preferably done by controlling multiple data controllers dispersed along the at least one route by mapping specific data protocols to specific routes, or mapping specific data protocols to specific ports in each data controller. If a state of the asynchronous network indicates that the route cannot transport data in conformity to the class of communication service, then the route is changed to a backup route through the network.
