1. A method for establishing a communication between a contactor at a first endpoint and a contactee at a second endpoint, comprising:
- determining a network configuration requirement resulting from at least one special need of at least one of the contactor and the contactee, the at least one special need associated with a user profile, the network configuration requirement based on a most demanding of the at least one special need and including one or more parameters that ensure network resources will be available for the communication, the one or more parameters guaranteeing that all intermediate nodes and each endpoint in a network carrying the communication can automatically reconfigure themselves to accommodate the at least one special need;
incorporating the special need network configuration requirement in a communication set-up message; and
forwarding the communication set-up message to a communication device associated with the contactee.

Abstract
A computational component for establishing a communication between a contactor and a contactee is provided that includes a user configuration agent 324 operable to (a) determine a network configuration requirement resulting from a disability of at least one of the contactor and the contactee, (b) incorporate the disability network configuration requirement in a communication set-up message; and (c) forward the communication set-up message to a communication device associated with the contactee.
