Abstract
The present invention relates to configuring the quality of service in a label switched network. In particular, the invention relates to configuring quality of service for the return path of a bi-directional label switched path in a label switched network.The invention provides a method of configuring quality of service for a return path of a bi-directional label switched path within a network, the bi-directional label switched path having a forward path and a return path. A label information context for a quality of service configuration of the return path of a label switched path is configured separately from a quality of service configuration for the forward path. Path set up messages are formed containing a return path quality of service object indicating the quality of service configuration for the return path separately from a quality of service configuration for the forward path.
