1. A device for aiding resource reservation of a relaying node in a packet-switched communication network, said resource reservation for said relaying node being established following a resource reservation plan,wherein the device for aiding resource reservation comprises:
- a storage that stores information on at least two resource reservation plans associated with said relaying node, each of said at least two resource reservation plans being defined by a plan identifier characterizing a respective one of said at least one resource reservation plan to be used by said relaying node and being associated with at least one stream identifier and at least two ports of said relaying node,a receiver for receiving a signal comprising a current reservation plan identifier characterizing a current reservation plan to be used by said relaying node among said at least two resource reservation plans,at least one processor configured for selecting said current reservation plan among said at least two resource reservation plans, andat least one output for transmitting instructions for said relaying node to apply said current reservation plan.

Abstract
A method intended to aid in the reservation of resources within a packet-switched communication network (CR) comprising a number N of relaying nodes (S1-S4). This method consists i), in determining for some at least of the N nodes (S1-S4) at least one resource reservation plan Pik defined by a plan identifier associated with a stream identifier and at least two ports, and ii) in memorizing for each of the N nodes (S1-S4) the various plans Pik relating to them.

4. A method for aiding resource reservation of a relaying node in a packet-switched communication network, said resource reservation for said relaying node being established following a resource reservation plan, comprising:
-
storing information on at least two resource reservation plans associated with said relaying node, each of said at least two resource reservation plans being defined by a plan identifier characterizing a respective one of said at least one resource reservation plan to be used by said relaying node and being associated with at least one stream identifier and at least two ports of said relaying node, receiving a signal comprising a current reservation plan identifier characterizing a current reservation plan to be used by said relaying node among said at least two resource reservation plans, selecting by at least one processor said current reservation plan among said at least two resource reservation plans, and transmitting instructions for said relaying node to apply said current reservation plan. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6)

7. A relaying node in a packet-switched communication network, comprising:
-
a storage that stores information on at least two resource reservation plans associated with said relaying node, each of said at least two resource reservation plans being defined by a plan identifier characterizing a respective one of said at least one resource reservation plan to be used by said relaying node and being associated with at least one stream identifier and at least two ports of said relaying node, a signal receiver for receiving a signal including a current reservation plan identifier characterizing a current reservation plan to be used by said relaying node among said at least two resource reservation plans, at least one processor configured for selecting said current reservation plan among said at least two resource reservation plans, and at least one output for transmitting instructions for said relaying node to apply said current reservation plan wherein said relaying node applies said current reservation plan included in said signal. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)
