Patent ID: 7870289

Claim:
An interdomain routing system having a transmission node and a destination node, wherein the transmission node includes: intradomain path selection means for obtaining a group of candidate paths in a transmission domain by exchanging information about the path in the transmission domain, the intradomain path selection means including first means for exchanging topology of a network in the transmission domain; interdomain path selection means for receiving information about a path between the transmission domain and at least one destination domain to obtain a group of candidate paths therebetween, the interdomain path selection means including second means for exchanging topology of a network between domains; destination domain reception path candidate obtaining means for requesting a destination node for obtaining a group of candidate paths from the transmission node toward the destination node; and end-to-end path selection means, said end-to-end path selection means calculating an optimum path end to end based on bandwidth metrics and QoS metrics of three path candidates, the group of candidate paths in the transmission domain, the group of candidate paths between the transmission domain and the at least one destination domain, and the group of candidate paths from the transmission node toward the destination node.
