Patent ID: 7079526

Claim:
A protocol for launching a software application remotely and reserving network resources with quality of service, between a caller terminal and a called terminal, said protocol consisting in: transmitting a connection reservation request from said caller terminal to said called terminal via a server and an unconnected network, setting up between said caller terminal and said called terminal a process of reservation of network resources with quality of service by exchanging messages by transmission via said unconnected network, said steps of transmitting the connection reservation request and setting up said process of reserving network resources with quality of service consisting of at least: transmitting a connection request from said caller terminal to said server and, on connection of said caller terminal to said server: supplying an entry page to said caller terminal, loading a subroutine for selecting quality of service parameters into said caller terminal from said server, establishing a choice of quality of service parameters from said caller terminal and said selection subroutine, transmitting said choice of quality of service parameters from said caller terminal to said server, and based on the choice of quality of service parameters, setting up the process of reserving connected network resources constituting the network resources with quality of service; and, on acceptance of said reservation of network resources by said server, setting up a connected network between said caller terminal and said called terminal on the same physical network supporting said unconnected network and by means of a control network, said connected network constituting said network resource with quality of service for executing said software application remotely between said caller terminal and said called terminal.
