METHOD AND EQUIPMENT FOR ESTABLISHING A CONNECTION THROUGH A VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK
First Claim
1. Method for establishing a connection through a virtual private network “
- VPN”
between a first and a second entities of a transport network, the said entities comprising a virtual private network “
VPN”
interface, wherein, between the said interfaces, a bearer of a selected type, among a plurality of types corresponding to a plurality of quality of service “
QoS”
, is determined according to a quality of service “
QoS”
requested for the connection and wherein the parameters used by the virtual private network “
VPN”
interfaces for the establishment of the bearer are global routing parameters corresponding to global routing parameters of the transport network and wherein the said parameters comprise at least one parameter which is different from one bearer type to another so that the selected bearer type associated with the quality of service “
QoS”
requested for the connection is identified by the first and the second entities.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention refer to a method for establishing a connection through a virtual private network “VPN” (9) between a first (1) and a second (3) entities of a transport network, the said entities comprising a virtual private network “VPN” interface (5, 7), wherein, between the said interfaces, a bearer of a selected type, among a plurality of types corresponding to a plurality of quality of service “QoS”, is determined according to the quality of service “QoS” requested for the connection and wherein the parameters used by the virtual private network “VPN” interfaces (5, 7) for the establishment of the bearer are global routing parameters corresponding to global routing parameters of the transport network and wherein the said parameters comprise at least one parameter which is different from one bearer type to another so that the selected bearer type associated with the quality of service “QoS” requested for the connection is identified by the first and the second entities.
