Abstract:
A method of managing a session by global resources in first and second phases, the method comprising the following steps:a) negotiating among first, second, and third nodes for a QoS of the session during the first phase by ripple scheduling the session down from the first node to the second node and from the second node to the third node and then up from the third node to the second node and from the second node to the first node; b) if the first, second, and third nodes can execute the session, sending a commit message during the second phase from the first node to the second node and from the second node to the third node; and, c) if the first or second or third node cannot execute the session, sending an abort message during the second phase from the first node to the second node and from the second node to the third node.
