Abstract
A telecommunication system and a method for generating a real time connection between a first endpoint and a second endpoint in an IP network using an ICE STUN connectivity check follow a procedure that includes the steps of generating a list of possible connection paths between the first endpoint and the second endpoint, establishing a respective priority for each possible connection path included in the list, and generating the real time connection between the first endpoint and the second endpoint. During this procedure first there is an attempt to generate the real time connection using the highest-priority connection path. If this is not possible, then the system attempts to establish the real connection using the connection path with the next highest priority, until the real time connection is actually established. Furthermore, for each possible connection path, its respective quality-of-service value is determined and is considered when establishing its priority on the list.

13. A method for generating a real time connection in a communication system between a first endpoint and a second endpoint in a network using an ICE STUN connectivity check procedure that comprises:
-
generating a list of possible connection paths between the first endpoint and the second endpoint, predicting a quality of service (QoS) for each and every possible connection path identified in the list, modifying the list of possible connection paths so that a highest-priority connection path is identified as a first possible connection path in the list has a highest predicted QoS and such that possible connection paths that are predicted as providing reductions in QoS are assigned a lower priority and placed at an end of the list, and facilitating establishment of the real time connection between the first endpoint and the second endpoint based on the modified list. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A non-transitory computer readable storage media containing instructions that are executable by at least one of an endpoint and a router in a communications network which when implemented result in the endpoint or router performing a method comprising:
-
generating a list of possible connection paths between a first endpoint and a second endpoint, predicting a quality of service (QoS) for each and every possible connection path identified in the list, modifying the list of possible connection paths so that a highest-priority connection path is identified as a first possible connection path in the list has a highest predicted QoS and such that possible connection paths that are predicted as providing reductions in QoS are assigned a lower priority and placed at an end of the list, and facilitating establishment of the real time connection between the first endpoint and the second endpoint based on the modified list. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27)

28. A telecommunication system for generating a real time connection between a first endpoint and a second endpoint in a network using a connectivity check procedure, the telecommunications system comprising:
-
a first endpoint, a network, through which the first endpoint and a second endpoint are connectable to each other, wherein the first endpoint is configured such that a list of possible connection paths between the first endpoint and the second endpoint is generatable, a quality of service (QoS) for each and every possible connection path identified in the list is predictable, and the list of possible connection paths is modifiable so that a highest-priority connection path is identified as a first possible connection path in the list has a highest predicted QoS and such that possible connection paths that are predicted as providing reductions in QoS are assigned a lower priority and placed at an end of the list for facilitating establishment of a real time connection between the first endpoint and the second endpoint based on the modified list occurs so that the real time connection is attempted to be established by first attempting to generate the real time connection using the highest-priority connection path identified in the modified list and, if this is not possible, then attempting to establish the real time connection using the connection path with a next highest priority. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32)
