Patent ID: 7961608

Claim:
An admission control system in a network having a certain number of edge devices for receiving microflows to be transmitted inside said network, said system comprising: an application sending a service quality request for the transmission in said network of a microflow of said microflows to be transmitted, said application comprising means for allocating a logic priority to said microflow; wherein said network comprises an admission controller comprising: means for receiving said service quality request associated with said microflow, and the logic priority which has been allocated to said microflow; and means to accept or prohibit said microflow; and wherein the means to accept said microflow comprise means for determining an order of preemption of the microflows in the network according to their logic priority, so as to free the internal resources of the network, with the aim of providing the service quality requested for said microflow by means of preempting and stopping one or more microflows with the lowest logic priority.
