摘要:
A private IP address is converted into a public IP address in a communications network without adapting a client software. The conversion of the private IP addresses into the public IP addresses is carried out via a network address translation. The private IP address of each terminal included in a payload of the IP data packet is convertible into a corresponding public IP address and, if necessary, vice-versa.
摘要:
The invention relates to a communication network, comprising a call control level (CCL), a resource control level (RCL) and at least one endpoint (A), associated with an information transfer, whereby a request (RQ) for a quality of service (QoS), determined for an information transfer is only exhaustively verified at the call control level (CCL). Subsequently, an encoded token (T) is formed and transmitted to the resource control level (RCL) by means of the endpoint (A). The above verifies a QoS request (RQ) coming from the endpoint (A), merely by means of the decoded token (T). Where successful the communication network is configured such that information with the QoS verified as above is transmitted. The invention permits an efficient secure and accurate provision of QoS in integrated speech and data networks. In particular extensive modifications to existing routers in the resource control level (RCL) are avoided. Furthermore, on regular repeated transmission of the token (T) a consistent provision of the available QoS and a secure and precise billing for the information transfer are supported.
