Peer to peer SVC-based DSL service
First Claim
1. A method of policy-based routing of packets over a peer-to-peer, quality of service connection, comprising:
- sending a connection setup request, over a control connection to a connection establishing device, to dynamically establish the peer-to-peer, quality of service connection between a source peer implemented on at least one device and a destination peer implemented on at least one device;
transmitting from the source peer implemented on at least one device, over the peer-to-peer, quality of service connection, packets originating from an application requiring a specified level of service; and
transmitting from the source peer implemented on at least one device, over a best effort connection, packets originating from an application that does not require the specified level of service,wherein the connection establishing device establishes the peer-to-peer, quality of service connection in response to the connection setup request, andwherein the application requiring the specified level of service comprises a video conference application.

Abstract
Policy-based routing of packets over a peer-to-peer, quality of service connection includes sending a connection setup request, over a control connection to a connection establishing device, to dynamically establish the peer-to-peer, quality of service connection between a source peer implemented on at least one device and a destination peer implemented on at least one device. Packets originating from an application requiring a specified level of service are transmitted, from the source peer implemented on at least one device, over the peer-to-peer, quality of service connection. Packets originating from an application that does not require the specified level of service are transmitted, from the source peer implemented on at least one device, over a best effort connection.

9. At least one source peer device for policy-based routing of packets over a peer-to-peer, quality of service connection, comprising:
-
a first transmitter that sends a connection setup request, over a control connection to a connection establishing device, to dynamically establish the peer-to-peer, quality of service connection between the source peer implemented on at least one device and a destination peer implemented on at least one device; and a second transmitter that transmits, over the peer-to-peer, quality of service connection, packets originating from an application requiring a specified level of service and that transmits, over a best effort connection, packets originating from an application that does not require the specified level of service, wherein the connection establishing device establishes the peer-to-peer, quality of service connection in response to the connection setup request, and wherein the application requiring the specified level of service comprises a video conference application. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A tangible non-transitory storage medium storing a program, recorded on the tangible storage medium, for policy-based routing of packets over a peer-to-peer, quality of service connection, comprising:
-
a receiving code segment, recorded on the tangible storage medium, that receives a connection setup request from a source peer implemented on at least one device, over a control connection; and an establishing code segment, recorded on the tangible storage medium, that dynamically establishes the peer-to-peer, quality of service connection between the source peer implemented on at least one device and a destination peer implemented on at least one device, wherein packets originating from an application requiring a specified level of service are transmitted, over the peer-to-peer, quality of service connection, from the source peer implemented on at least one device, and wherein packets originating from an application that does not require the specified level of service are transmitted, over a best effort connection, from the source peer implemented on at least one device, and wherein the application requiring the specified level of service comprises a video conference application. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
