METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR PROVIDING VOIP COMMUNICATION
First Claim
1. A method for providing communication in a voice over IP (VoIP) communication network having a multiplicity of network nodes, comprising:
- storing in a first network node of the VoIP communication network a first item of information comprising a VoIP connection property desired by a user of a first subscriber terminal in the VoIP communication network,when a second subscriber terminal wishes to connect to the first subscriber terminal,requesting the first item of information from the first network node by the second subscriber terminal,forming at least one data element wherein said data element describes the connection on the basis of at least the first item of information,transmitting the data element by the second subscriber terminal, wherein said data element describes a connection to a functional element that is assigned to the VoIP communication network and switches through direct connections between communication partners,evaluating the data element using the functional element and establishing a connection between the first subscriber terminal and the second subscriber terminal on the basis of at least the first item of information.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for providing communication in a VoIP communication network having a multiplicity of network nodes, in which a) at least one first subscriber terminal in the VoIP communication network stores a first item of information containing at least one VoIP connection property desired by the user of the first subscriber terminal in at least one first network node of the VoIP communication network, wherein b) when a second subscriber terminal wishes to connect to the first subscriber terminal, b1) the second subscriber terminal requests the first item of information from the first network node, b2) the second subscriber terminal forms at least one data element that describes the connection on the basis of at least the first item of information, b3) the second subscriber terminal transmits the data element that describes the connection to a functional element which is assigned to the network and switches through direct connections between communication partners, and wherein c) the functional element evaluates the data element in such a manner that it establishes the connection between the first subscriber terminal and the second subscriber terminal on the basis of at least the first item of information. The invention also relates to an arrangement for carrying out the method.
