Abstract
A method of establishing Quality-of-Service (QoS) communications within a network proposes the encapsulation of a control message that facilitates QoS for an associated data flow, according to a protocol not implementing resource reservation, such as the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). The encapsulated control message is then propagated through the network on a routed path, while the associated data flow is propagated over a short-cut path through the network.
