Abstract:
1. A method of establishing disjoint data connections between clients by a network operated by a network operator, comprising the steps of: sending, by the network operator, first and second indicating data as predefined data to one or more client devices; receiving, by a network endpoint node from a first client device, one or more connection request messages requesting at least two disjoint data connections to a second client device, said one or more connection request messages containing said first indicating data provided by the network operator and uniquely identifying a first predetermined set of network resources for a first data connection and said second indicating data provided by the network operator and uniquely identifying a second predetermined set of network resources for a second data connection, which is disjoint to said first data connection, by said network endpoint node establishing said first data connection via a first data path using network resources selected from said first set of network resources uniquely identified by said first indicating data, and establishing said second data connection via a second data path using network resources selected from said second set of network resources uniquely identified by said second indicating data.
