Claim Text:
1. A method in a router of an IP network for providing a relevant service level for a first subscriber in a peer-to-peer session with a second subscriber, comprising: receiving a session setup message sent from the first subscriber for setting up the peer-to-peer session between the first subscriber and the second subscriber, detecting, from a service level indicator included in the session setup message, a service level with which the first subscriber's subscription with the first subscriber's operator entitles the first subscriber to set up the peer-to-peer session, obtaining a service level definition of the operator of the first subscriber, interpreting the detected service level of the first subscriber via said service level definition, determining communication resources required in the router for data transmission from the second subscriber to the first subscriber via the peer-to-peer session based on said interpreting, booking said communication resources in the router, and forwarding the session setup message to a next hop node.
