Abstract:
1. Method of transferring data between a sending station in a first network of a type of a Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) capable network and a receiving station in a second network of a type of a non-RSVP capable network, wherein the first and second network are connected over a third network of a type of an Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) capable network, the method comprising terminating a signaling connection established inside the first network for controlling data transmission to the receiving station inside the second network performed by proxy means on behalf of the receiving station, said proxy means being located on a connection path at a border between the first network and the third network; and performing by said proxy means a Quality of Service mapping between a description D sending by the proxy means a resource reservation message back to the sending station on behalf of the receiving station if during the step of mapping a route has been found with a large enough Quality of Service description D wherein for a Quality of Service description in the form of MPLS description D Maximum data rate, [bit/s] Maximum delay, [ms] Maximum jitter, [ms] Maximum packet loss Minimum packet loss distance, [packets] a minimum operation is defined with min(D
